Description

A naval band, probably the West Australian Naval Band, plays on the quayside at Victoria Quay, Fremantle, WA, to welcome home HMAS ANZAC and HMAS Darwin. HMAS ANZAC [III] and HMAS Darwin left Australia for the Persian Gulf on 28 October 2002, under Operation Slipper, Australia's contribution to the international fight against terrorism, to participate in the Multinational Interception Force enforcing UN sanctions against Iraq. They were then assigned to Operation Bastille, the build-up of Australian forces against Iraq, in January 2003, and then to Operation Falconer, Australia's contribution to the war on Iraq, in March 2003.
