A combat engineer and IED detection expert deployed to Afghanistan.
AWAMO is proud to fiscally support another Veteran 4 legged Digger.Sally was a member of the 1st Combat Engineer Regiment, Explosive Detection Section. She was deployed to Afghanistan on MTF-2 from September 2010 – June 2011. Her primary job was to search for IED’s, weapons and explosive caches. After Afghanistan, Sally was paired with several other handlers, but she had lost interest in searching.
In 2012, she was retired to her handler who had discharged the Army and we were reunited after 8 months apart. In her retirement, Sally is enjoying life in the country and is now a winery/vineyard dog in the Macedon Wine Region, in Victoria. She still loves playing fetch and the water. She has been honoured with her name on the Honour Board in the town of Devenish in Victoria. This board depicts the names of all the towns service people since WW1.
