There will rightly be focus on the #dday80 land campaign today but the naval operation enabling and then sustaining the landing and subsequent operations was crucial. 500 Australian sailors served under Admiral Ramsay’s command.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the sinking of HMAS Voyager and the loss of 82 members of @Australian_Navy. 10 years ago we took survivors, families and rescuers to sea to mark the 50 th anniversary. So many people’s lives changed by what happened #OTD #LestWeForget

@AIIANational Vale Allan, a terrible loss to his family and another significant loss to our strategic policy community. Razor sharp mind and unimpeachable strategic insight. Very sad day.

The Australian Institute of International Affairs is very sad to hear of the death of our immediate past president, Allan Gyngell AO FAIIA, this morning. Allan's contributions to the institute and to Australian foreign policy have been enormous. Our thoughts are with his family.

Good to see the numbers continuing to build at the First Nations remembrance service service at @AWMemorial this morning. The For Our Country memorial such a poignant and fitting home for what is always a uniquely beautiful service. #LestWeForget

An important outcome for the tens of thousands of relatives of those who were tragically lost on 1 July 1942. #LestWeForget

#breaking Wreck of Australia’s largest maritime disaster found. WWII ship Montevideo Maru sunk off Philippines in 1942 with approximately 1060 prisoners, both military and civilian, lost. At least 850 Australian service members and 210 civilians from 14 countries were on board

Vale @GoldrickJames taken from us all far too soon. A giant of Australian maritime thought and naval history, a warrior scholar, an incisive analyst and author, an admired and forthright leader, valued mentor and wonderfully decent human. What a loss.

@CAF_Australia @JohnBlaxland1 @WilliamsFnd @AusAirForce @ADC_Australia Great work Edge, I know it’s been a long journey!

Congrats to AVM Edgeley on the recent award of his PhD as a @WilliamsFnd @AusAirForce Air Power Scholar, & thanks to Pippa for her support. 👏🎓
Steve epitomises the maxim 'leaders are readers' & is an exemplar to his staff & students as Commander @ADC_Australia.

Pride and emotion all around as the dedicated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Veterans memorial is unveiled in Brisbane this morning. Powerful and beautiful memorial recognising 120 years of the stories and sacrifice of Indigenous servicemen and women. #reconcilliationweek

Good to see the numbers back up at the #AnzacDay Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Commemoration Ceremony at the @AWMemorial this morning - an important part of our national story #LestWeForget

1942 was a pivotal year for Australia, perhaps our most pivotal, #OTD 80 years ago Darwin was bombed by the Japanese with tragic loss of life - a day we should all remember - it is useful to place Darwin into the broader sweep of 1942 #LestWeForget awm.gov.au/commemoration/…

Terrible news over the weekend, Brendan was a profound strategic thinker and one of the most decent human beings around - it was a great privilege to work with him - he will be truly missed canberratimes.com.au/story/7619978/…
