Messages to the Troops: Australians are encouraged to send goodwill messages of a general nature to Australian Defence Force soldiers, sailors, airmen and women who are on operation around the world. Postcards, letters & e-mails are collected in Canberra and sent to Sydney where the Personnel Support Battalion is located. The Battalion then distributes these items to our overseas troops.

In support of this ADF initiative, Your Defence have created these fantastic ‘Support the Troops’ postcards. Our postcards are pre-addressed to 'Messages to the Troops' and have plenty of blank space on the back for your own personal message of support. To encourage Troop Support we will be adding one of our great postcards to every Your Defence order placed via www.yourdefence.com.au as well as having them available direct via the Your Defence facebook page.

The Your Defence “Support the Troops” postcard.
One postcard free with every order placed, or available in packs of 10 or 25 as below.

E-mail messages can be sent to: messagestothetroops@defence.gov.au.
Due to the large amount of spam and inappropriate material being sent to this address, please include "Message to the Troops" in the subject line. Any e-mails that do not include this identification from Monday, 2 February 2010, will be deleted unread.

Alternatively, faxes may be sent to +61 (0)2 6266 7701.
