61 Division Marks Its 5th Birth Anniversary

Giving pride of place to religious observances and collective events, the 61 Division Headquarters in Vavuniya on Thursday (30) marked its 5th Anniversary.

Buddhist, Islamic, Catholic and Hindu religious rites and rituals were conducted at the 61 Division Headquarters premises earlier on the day before several sports and marathon events got underway, the same day (30).

A Guard Turnout plus a Guard of Honour greeted Brigadier D.M.W.W.W.M.R.B.M Daulagala, General Officer Commanding earlier on the day in keeping with military traditions, followed by a tree sapling planting.

As one more feature of the anniversary events, distribution of colours to the best sports teams and an all rank lunch got underway afterwards.

611, 612 and 613 Brigade Commanders, Unit Commanders and several senior officers were associated with the day’s events.
