THE ROYAL AUSTRALIAN REGIMENT ASSOCIATION
KEEPING THE SPIRIT ALIVE
The RAR Association is a mutual association for all current serving and past serving members of the Regiment and their families. Together, we form the RAR Family (“Our Tribe”) and like all families we are dedicated to caring for and protecting each other.
The Association’s motto “Keeping the Spirit Alive” recognises the binding force forged by those who served in the Royal Australian Regiment. Osmar White, an Australian Second World War correspondent, wrote in his book ‘Green Armour’ of this warrior spirit:
“The spirit, which grows up in a Battalion (Regiment) when it has been welded together into a true fighting unit, is a comradeship almost spiritual in its strength and intensity. It springs from hardships shared equally, risks run by all in common and its power exceeds most of the emotions that an ordinary man will ever know. The care of soldiers for one another, their sure and calm dependence on each other is hard to understand by anyone who has not known it.”
One for all, all for one.
