337SQN Australian Air Force Cadets visit Guyra

08th Apr 2025

On Sunday April 6, cadets and staff from Armidale’s 337SQN Australian Air Force Cadets partnered with Guyra RSL sub-Branch and Armidale RSL sub-Branch at the Guyra Soldiers Memorial Hall for a joint morning tea and wide-ranging discussion about ANZAC Day and the role of RSL sub-Branches.
The event tied in to the cadet learning curriculum and through these discussions cadets gained an understanding of the importance of commemorating ANZAC Day and how members of the local community contributed to past wars and conflicts.
The cadets examined the extensive Honour Rolls at the hall and historian Martha Weiderman provided an overview of the role of local men who joined the 33rd Battalion AIF and the 1st Light Horse Brigade in WW1.
The role of local servicemen and women in WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and various peace keeping operations was emphasised. Martha also highlighted the close affiliation that Guyra has with 1SQN RAAF Amberly as a result of the F111 crash in the area in 1993.
An excellent morning tea was provided by the ladies from the CWA Guyra Evening Branch. During morning tea, Hans and Chris Hietbrink from Guyra sub-Branch along with Max Tavener and Andrew St John Brown from Armidale sub-Branch held discussions with the cadets about the role of the RSL, being a member of the RSL, serving in the Defence Force, and the role RSL plays in supporting local veterans and their families.
