This Association is made up of personnel who signed up to “do their bit!”
Some members are from National Service and Citizen Military Forces (CMF) days, and some are current serving members of The Regiment (10/27 Bn RSAR). They regard serving their country and holding down a full time job to be par for the course.
The Metropolitan (Adelaide) branch meets regularly for lunch.
The South East (Mount Gambier) branch meets every month in the evening.
Outings, visits to military establishments and other functions of interest for members and their families are held throughout the year. (See our newsletters or contact The Secretary for details).

A number of Victoria Crosses were won by soldiers serving with South Australia Regiments in the First and Second World Wars.
