The Royal Victoria Regiment was formed on 1 July 1960.
It inherited the histories of every Infantry Battalion
formed within Victoria since 1854.

The Royal Victoria Regiment Association came into being in 1982 in order to maintain a link with and provide support to the Regiment.

The Royal Victoria Regiment has two serving Battalions.
These are the 5th/6th Battalion and the 8th/7th Battalion.

These two Infantry Battalions make up the
Infantry combat power of the Army Reserve within Victoria.
Tasks include providing a Reserve Response Force.

Within these pages you will find out more information about the Association, and some general Australian Military history.

The Regiment turns 50 on the 1st of July 2010
The Association needs copies of your old and new photos.

To mark the occasion the 50th Anniversary of the RVR the Association is producing a commemorative A1 size poster that will feature a photographic montage of activities over the past 50 years. This limited edition poster will be available to members and framed copies will be presented to all regimental messes and clubs. A copy will also be going to the Australian War Memorial as a record of the Regiment.

If you have photos you have 3 options to get them to the Association.

Option 1: Mail copies of your photos to Dom Fountain 8 Longstaff Street, Kew East, 3102.                    
Please enclose a self addressed envelope if you want your photos to be returned after scanning.

Option 2: Scan your photos and send them electronically to spook_dom@hotmail.com              
(Note:  Underscore between spook_dom)

Option 3: Phone (03) 9859 1682 and arrangements will be made to collect photos and return them once scanned.
Any photos not used will be electronically retained by the Association for Regimental history purposes and some
photos will be posted onto the Associations web site.
