Just 4 weeks later, the regime was removed and most of Iraq was under coalition control. The success of the military campaign owed much to the determination and professionalism of the coalition’s Armed Forces and the civilians who supported them. I regret that, during the course of combat operations and subsequently, a number of Service personnel lost their lives. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten. The UK is playing a full part in the re-building of Iraq through the establishment of conditions for a stable and law-abiding Iraqi government. This process will not be easy after years of repression and neglect by a brutal regime. Our Armed Forces are performing a vital and dangerous role by contributing to the creation of a secure environment so that normal life can be resumed, and by working in support of humanitarian organisations to help the Iraqi people.

He presently looks unconvinced, but has emphasised parliamentary joint committee (see Monitor 51) a bill was formally repeatedly in the past that Lords reformers must not ‘make the best introduced into the Commons in late June, and had its second reading of the enemy of the good’. Now he needs to decide whether this was on 9-10 July. Its principle was approved comfortably, by 462 votes more than rhetoric. to 124. Nonetheless in August Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg announced at a specially-convened press conference that the bill had been dropped. He confirmed this in a Commons statement on EXECUTIVE 3 September. For seasoned Lords reform watchers these events were no surprise. It was always clear that the Conservatives were lukewarm on Lords reform, David Cameron having told supporters before the election that Civil Service reform: radical change it was a ‘third term issue’. Previous Commons votes on the subject had shown the Conservatives, like Labour, to be very split. As it turned In June 2012, Francis Maude, Minister for the Cabinet Office, published out, while Cameron had pledged his support to Clegg for the reform, his civil service reform plan.

  • History of 103 Medium Battery

    History of 103 Medium Battery

    HISTORY OF 103rd BATTERY, ROYAL AUSTRALIAN ARTILLERY Introduction The parent unit of the 103rd Battery was the 3rd (Army) field Brigade of the Australian Imperial Forces in World War 1. Historically, the immediate predecessor of the first Australian Battery to be numbered "103" - the 103rd (Howitzer) Battery AIF - was the 26th Mountain Battery (Jacobs) of the Indian Mountain Artillery. It was this unit that performed the tasks at ANZAC, which would have been those of the 103rd Battery if Australian Artillery Brigades had then included Batteries. The successors to the 103rd (Howitzer) Battery were, in sequence, the 103rd Field Battery (Howitzer) of the Citizen Military Forces from 1920 to 1941, 103rd Anti-Aircraft Battery from 1954 to 1957, 103rd Field Battery from 1960 to 1967, 103rd Medium Battery of the Australian Regular Army from 1967 to 2011 and 103rd Battery from 2012 to today. Egypt 1916 In December 1915 the ANZAC troops were successfully evacuated from the Gallipoli peninsula, and returned to Egypt for re-grouping and training in preparation for movement to the Western Front in France. The AIF was reorganised to conform to the revised British order of battle. For the Australian Artillery, this meant that in addition to the three 18 pounder Field Brigades there was a requirement to raise in each division a Howitzer Brigade comprising three 4.5 inch Howitzer Batteries each of four guns. Batteries in these Howitzer brigades were to be numbered consecutively commencing at 101. Accordingly, at Tel-el-Kebir, on 6 March 1916, 103 Howitzer Battery was raised as part of 12 Howitzer Brigade AIF.
