Images: ANZAC Day - We Will Remember Them

This photograph shows No. 3 Squadron Detachment (RNZAF) and No. 161 Squadron (Australian Army Aviation) commemorating ANZAC Day with a dawn service held yesterday morning in East Timor. The squadrons work and live together at ANZAC Lines in Suai. They provide utility helicopter support to ground forces and aerial reconnaissance & surveillance for the United Nations. They are the epitome of the ANZAC spirit, which is still evident today in this UN operation. Photograph shows presentation of arms during the service.
