Hari huritau ki a Te Tauā Moana o Aotearoa! October 1 1941, marks the official date the Royal New Zealand Navy was granted its royal title by King George VI, marking 85 years ago today. Today we take a look back to the moment the Governor General of New Zealand from 1941 – 1946, Baron Cyril Newall, signed the Navy Order.

Happy birthday for tomorrow to our Executive Committee member, Misty Leong! 🎂

Perfect timing to win these beautiful flowers from Devonport Flowers at our members’ catch-up today — what a lovely early birthday surprise! 💐

Members of our RSA, including Greg Camburn and Sam Gambling, attended the U.S. Memorial Day Service on Sunday as an opportunity to pay their respects, recognizing service and an enduring partnership.

Honoured to attend the U.S. Memorial Day Service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum this afternoon. It was a chance to pay respects, alongside veterans and their families, to those who gave their lives in service, and to recognise the enduring partnership between New Zealand and the United States of America.

Devonport RSA is very saddened to hear of the passing of Trevor Williams – known to us all as Willie. He was a highly regarded member of our RSA, his support, friendship and contribution over the years were greatly appreciated.

Willie will be fondly remembered for his warm smile, kind nature, willingness to lend a hand around the RSA, wicked sense of humour, and loyal Crusader supporter to the end. He will be greatly missed by those who knew him and will always be remembered as a valued member of our RSA community.

Our thoughts are with Willie’s family and loved ones at this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Willie.🌹
