Historical information

Army Survey Regiment, Fortuna Villa, Bendigo circa 1984. As there are limited annotations with the photo set, the names of the aide de camp officer, guests and the media are unknown. The Australian Army’s MAJ GEN James Hughes AO DSO MC and the US Army’s GEN Keith are identified by their name tags. Given GEN Keith was a high ranking four-star General, it is likely they were attending a Five Nations Conference held at the Regiment. MAJ GEN James Hughes AO DSO MC held the position of Controller of Establishments from 1978 to 1984. The generals were accompanied by their wives and travelled by RAAF Iroquois helicopter.
