Date Set For Odd Bods Plaque Dedication Canberra

Plaque in its wrapping, soon to be unveiled.

As previously advised, Odd Bods are to get their own bronze plaque in the grounds of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, and we now have a date - the dedication ceremony is happening at 10:00am on Saturday 14th March 2020 in the Captain Reg Saunders Courtyard.

The Guest List includes representatives from RAAF including Chief of Air Force, representatives from AWM including Dr. Brendan Nelson, representatives from RAAFA, Bomber Command Association, the RSL, and of course a contingent from Friends of the Odd Bods including veterans. The RAAF Band will attend.

Recognition of the Odd Bods at Australia’s National War Memorial follows a campaign over many years.  FOTOBAI members and their families are invited to attend this very special occasion and encouraged to contact committee members if they have any questions or need assistance.
