UNTAC Association Donates over $900 - 10 October 2007
Following the completion of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) in 2003 an association was formed for members who served on that mission.
It started with a lot of enthusiasm and support but with a number of members retiring and separating from the ADF, the association lost relevance and has basically ceased to function. However, the association had an account, in which some funds were deposited, but this account was dormant and, if it is not used or closed soon, the funds would be transferred to the Government.
It was recognised by the former Treasurer of the UNTAC Association, Lieutenant Colonel John Eddington, AM, RFD, that significant funds would be required to build the Peacekeeping Memorial and to this end, the funds in the dormant UNTAC Association account were donated to the Peacekeeping Memorial Committee, to the value of $967.
The cheque was presented to Tim Ford, Chairman of the APMPC during its monthly meeting, held on Wednesday, 10th Oct by Brigadier General Steve Ayling (Retd), AM, former President of the UNTAC Association.
