Merriwa.

 

The Comcen from RAAF Williamtown 'adopted' Merriwa in 2006 and provides the catafalque parties for ANZAC Day.

 

Most of the staff from the Williamtown Comcen were Radtechs or CISCONs (ex EDP/Comsops).

 

I know when Merriwa was adopted because I was the first RAAFie to lead the ANZAC parade and provide the catafalque parties for both the dawn service and main service on 25 April 2006.

 

With 381ECSS (Expeditionary Combat Support Squadron) being no longer, not sure if the Comcen RAAF Williamtown involvement with Merriwa continues.
