Leaving mates behind was the greatest regret, as this excerpt from a poem written in his diary by CQMS A. Guppy, 14th Battalion outlines: Not only muffled is our tread to cheat the foe, We fear to rouse our honoured dead to hear us go. Sleep sound, old friends, the keenest smart, which, more than failure wounds the heart, Is thus to leave you, thus to part. Comrades farewell.

In the face of Emergency. Protecting lives. Protecting property. The focus of support to our people at the front line and those who are delivering our services to the community.

Dedication. Service to our country is hard work. It is dedication to the task at hand, regardless if we succeed, or have to try again. We apply the best of ourselves with our mates to the mission at hand. Dedication is not what others expect of you, it is what you give to our country. Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

Values guide our behaviour, how we treat each other, define what is important - they bind us together. Values are a source of strength; they are a source of moral courage to take action. We celebrate our values as current and former Defence Service men and women.

Gallantry, the product of courage. Courage, moral and physical, to act in the best interests of the Nation and the Defence Force; including the moral strength and professionalism to balance the will to win with compassion, and mateship with duty. We are proud of our service.

Respect. Respect for ourselves, our colleagues, our community and our history of service to the Nation; acknowledging that each one of us has earned the right to wear the Rising Sun Badge and the responsibility to uphold the values and traditions it symbolises.

Got to love this one doing the rounds lately! Considered a quality vehicle here in Australia, but dime a dozen in the recent areas of conflict.

Mateship. "Working together in the otherwise solitary bush; habits of mutual helpfulness arise, and these elicit gratitude, and that leads on to regard.
Men under these circumstances often stand by one another through thick and thin; in fact it is a universal feeling that a man ought to be able to trust his own mate in anything." The Anzac spirit will never die.
