Australian peacekeepers have been saving lives since 1947. Most people never see the danger behind that service, yet one story shows it plainly. Sergeant Ian Donald Ward was just twenty-five, five days into his UN mission in Cyprus, when his Land Rover hit an unmarked minefield while escorting a father and his young daughters across the ceasefire line. Ian and the father were killed. The girls survived. He had volunteered for that task to help a colleague. Ian served as a NSW Police officer, a V

On 10 March 2005, PTE Jamie Clark, 3RAR, gave his life on patrol in the Solomon Islands. He believed in peacekeeping, in helping communities rebuild, and in compassion over force. His mum Avril fought for nine years so his sacrifice—and that of all peacekeepers—would be honoured on the Roll of Honour in Canberra. On 14 September, Peacekeepers Day, we remember Jamie and more than 80,000 Australians who have served on 62 peacekeeping missions since 1947. 🌿 Lest We Forget 🌿 | Australian Peacekeep

On 25 November 1969, the war ended for Lance Corporal Michael Paul White. He was just 20. He grew up in Harrington, working hard on the Manning River and hauling nets at Crowdy Head. He learned early that you survive because of the person beside you. Service ran deep in his family, and he put up his age to enlist so he could do his part. He joined 5RAR, the Tiger Battalion, and faced the heat, the jungle, and the pressure of Vietnam. On 1 November 1969, during Operation Kings Cross, he was hit i

MILESTONE: Colonel Glenda Simasiku, Head of the Gender Division in the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs, reflected on the progress of women in the Namibian Defence Force. She noted that female soldiers now participate in all commissioning courses, hold 24 per cent of senior positions, and make up 69 per cent of those serving as United Nations peacekeepers, compared to 29 per cent of men. This marks a significant milestone in advancing gender equality in the security sector. (Video: Renat
