do better in Perth over the weekend 7/8 February. (Oops. Perth didn’t do much for our two teams. Competition is very tough.) I’m afraid this is the only photo I have regarding our award of the Don Donkin, MBE Soldiers Soldier Award. The 2025 recipient was Gunner Joshua Hurd, pictured on the left. With him is our Old Boy John Wilson who presented the award on our behalf. Members of the Donkin family complete the photo. They had travelled up from Sydney to witness the inaugural award. The photo at left shows the old Regimental Headquarters and parade ground being demolished at 4th Regiment’s lines in Townsville. The parade ground has gone to make way for new buildings to house the Self-Propelled guns the Regiment will get later this year. A section of the old parade ground presented to members of the Regiment and kept in the Paddy Durnford, OAM 4th Regiment Historical Collection
