A great privilege to be with our Life Member 106-year-old Joan Daniel (neé Taylor) — WWII veteran & NZ's oldest living military nurse — for the presentation by Sir Wayne Shelford of the RNZRSA Gold Star Badge for her decades of service to the RSA movement. A wonderful lady and a well-deserved award!

On this day in 1999 @nzdf.mil.nz deployed to East Timor as part of International Force East Timor (INTERFET). It would become NZ’s largest operational deployment since the Korean War and, tragically, endured its first combat death since the Vietnam War — Private Leonard Manning. Maumahara. Remember.

For the first Anzac Day in 1916 the government called for church services and recruiting rallies but Auckland returned soldiers had already arranged with Mayor James Gunson (our first president) a parade up Queen St to a service in the Town Hall and a reunion back there at night. #anzacday #auckland
