Centenary of Foundation Reveille Mess
Saturday 19th February 2011 Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel In 1985 the Waverley College Cadet Unit held the first Reveille Mess Dinner. This event was designed to mark the start of cadet training for the year, hence the title “Reveille”, named after the bugle call for the start of the day. The dinner brings together the newly appointed senior ranks of the Unit (Year 12 boys who are Cadet Under Officers or Cadet Warrant Officers) and their fathers, together with Old Boys of Waverley College who served in the senior ranks of the Cadet Unit. As part of the Cadet Unit's Centenary of Foundation events the dinner of 2011 was attended by 350 guests at the The Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel. Amongst these was the Unit's Guest of Honour, General Peter Cosgrove (Ret'd), AC, MC, former Chief of Defence. General Cosgrove delivered the Reveille Toast, which followed Toasts to the Australian Army Cadet Corps and the Waverley College Cadet Unit. Following General Cosgrove's address, the current OC of the Unit, LTCOL (AAC) Peter Frost, a College contemporary of General Cosgrove, carried out the “Roll Call”, assisted by the Unit RSM, Cadet Warrant Officer Francis O'Neill. The roll call covered a remarkable span of the ages with former senior ranks represented from 1947 through to 2010. Some Cadet Old Boys had travelled from Europe and Asia to be present on this occasion. Souvenir “regimental” ties and Unit cuff links were available for purchase on the night, and all guests received a souvenir lapel badge featuring the Unit crest. Other notable guests on the occasion included the Headmaster of the College, Mr. Ray Paxton, The Hon. Mr. Justice Barry O'Keefe, AM (Ret) and Brother Paul Oakley, representing the Christian Brothers and former Headmasters of Waverley College, whose support for the Unit was so influential in the continuation of the Cadet Unit. Current NCOs in the Unit wore historical uniforms from the Unit's history and a continuous slide show on a plasma television provided many guests with some poignant memories from their past in the Unit. th Later in the year, on 18 September, the Unit will hold its annual Ceremonial Parade. On this occasion the Unit will receive a new set of flags, donated by the Old Boys Union
