The "Original Quintus" (Regimental No: TF005) was a Sumatran tiger who served as the mascot for the 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (5 RAR). He was enlisted on 12 May 1967,, the same day 5 RAR returned to Sydney from South Vietnam aboard HMAS Sydney. Handler: Lance Corporal George Wills was his handler and met him at Garden Island on that date. Service & Rank: He served as a mascot, eventually rising to the rank of Warrant Officer Class 2 (WO2) in recognition of his role in increasing the world's population of tigers. He retired in 1985 and passed away in 1988 at Taronga Park Zoo. This mascot tradition was continued by subsequent tigers, including Quintus Secundus (served until 1999) and Quintus Septimus Sabre (served until 2010).

5RAR was raised on the 1st March 1965 and it was decreed that its colours would be black and gold. Due to this decree, the tiger was adopted as the unit mascot partly because it's traits included aggressiveness, courage, stealth and team work, all of which were desireable qualities for an infantry battalion. Prior to the battalion completing it's first tour in May 1967, MAJ John Miller of the advance party had arranged with the Director of the Taronga Park Zoo for a Sumatran tiger cub to be known as Quintus, to meet the battalion when arrived at Garden Island on board the HMAS Sydney 12th May 1967. The cub was enlisted on the day (regimental number TF005) then marched with the battalion through the streets of Sydney. the current battalion mascot is a Bengal Tiger named Quintus Rama enlisted 27th Sept 2012.A yellow board with black texts with two paragraphs about 5RAR's Mascot - Original Quintus - 5RAR Mascot5RAR was raised on the 1st March 1965 and it was decreed that its colours would be black and gold.
