IX I am honored and grateful to Hemi for affording me the privilege of writing the foreword to his book and allowing me to connect again and pay tribute to 103 Battery. The capturing of our history is critical. We draw lessons and inspiration from it. It is fundamental to what we do as Gunners and to our identity; it reminds us that we are part of something bigger than self and connects our past, present and future. As the RAA embarks on arguably the most significant period of change since World War 1, I encourage Hemi to update this book in the years to come and further encourage others throughout the RAA to consider similar projects to capture the history all Gunners serving in all batteries (including some on the verge of being raised) have made, are making and will make each and every day. Once a Gunner, Always a Gunner. Craig Furini Major General (Retd)
