It great to see that the Association is once again gaining momentum. Its been a fair while since 93 and I am looking forward to getting together with a few of the old mob. Great night was had at Gordonvale RSL on Thursday Night(Well Done Col. S Brain) last.I sincerly hope that every serving,discharged, and any one else that had something to do with 51 will get behind the association. This Battalion has great History so lets keep it alive through our gatherings.By the way. We are a battalion so no individual Coy Shindigs.

Excellent Site, I had an uncle PTE Douglas Seymour QX56529 of Hughenden Nth Queensland that served in the 31/51 Aust Inf Bn 11 Brigade in Bougainville, he was part of the invasion on Porton Beach serving under Lt Col Kelly, Capt Downs and Capt Shilton. Doug Seymour is one of the 27 personnel that received a Mention in Despactches within the 31/51 Bn receiving the oak leaf. Would any other members have any other information or photos on Doug Seymour as Dougs wife and myself would appreciate it very much as we are doing a history search on Dougs army service. Keep up the good work as I know Doug would be proud of what the Battalion has achived since the conflicts in Bougainville in 1942

My Father Frederick Charles HIGGS was a former member of 31/51st Battalion. In the 30/40s I believe he was also with the army band that I may have ended up joining another band to make the Cairns Municipal Band. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

Well, well I feel like I have stepped back in time. I joined up at 51st Battalion FNQR at the old Porton Depot in Westcourt, QLD on 10 APR 1990. I left as SIG Seymour on 18 MAY 1998 to take up my first FTS in Townsville. This is a great site how come it's not on Facebook lol? Definately will become a member and will circulate this website to my ex 51 FNQR contacts. Cheers Wens X

Browsing through the site brings back some memories, my first of many units. I've been a grunt, drop short, grunt, sig and back to dropshort, (misses was a pusser in the pnf if that helps explain - love a new posting heheh) but I will always say I was a proud member of the 51st. "golden bars on our epilets, We are men of Australia's best, We fight hard, unite like one, We are men of the fifty one" To the tune of "green berets", but you know that...
