Mark Wales with wife Sam and son Harry
Mark is a high achiever at seemingly everything he takes on, and his time as an SAS Commander in Afghanistan was no exception.
This year, we turn our attention to Australia’s Reserve Forces, the volunteers who first made their mark in the First World War at Gallipoli, and later in Palestine and the Western Front. They included a certain EJ Fairnie, father of Ian, who later went on to establish a woollen mill that employed only war widows, and helped fight and win the battle for pensions for war widows, and to establish Legacy.
Our media has made war its prime focus in stories about our armed services, but our Reserve Forces in particular have also been involved in many peace keeping missions, in various regional hotspots like Cambodia, East Timor and the Solomon Islands.
Please make a special effort to come along to Mark’s presentation - Australia’s militia in War and Peace. Bring a guest.

About 2 weeks after I downsized to Myaree in 2021, I was robbed as I slept and all my photos iD’s were among the goods stolen. Ironically I needed photo ID if I wanted to replace them!
