Here is a set of 6 RAR patches, including the first with a white instead of tan centre strip. This set proves the sad fact of just how overstretched the Australian military is with its combined commitments to Iraq, Afghanistan, Timor and various other Peace Keeping duties with the inclusion of the 'Kiwi" patch. 6 RAR was overcommitted to the stage where one of its platoons in Timor was actually 'borrowed' from the New Zealand Army to make up the full compliment!
