Description
Leading Seaman Gillies from HMAS ANZAC greets friends and relatives at a homecoming ceremony for HMAS ANZAC and HMAS Darwin at Victoria Quay, Fremantle, WA. Behind him, a banner reads, "WELCOME HOME JOHN". He had returned from service in the Persian Gulf and participation in the war in Iraq. 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.
