This painting also features within, as well as on the cover of the book-‘Art of the Australian SAS’
The ‘Art of the Australian SAS’ gives a unique, personal glimpse into the private world of one of Australia’s great institutions. 2014 marks the Golden Jubilee of The Special Air Service Regiment and, for the very first time, the artworks of the Australian SAS have been showcased in one volume and made available to the general public.
The art in this book spans 50 years of Regimental history. In their own individual ways the sculptures, drawings, sketches and paintings illustrate a relentless pursuit of excellence, sense of family, discipline, primacy of operational capability, humility, humour, loyalty and mutual respect – core values of The Special Air Service Regiment.
Through the eyes of over 30 artists, many acclaimed both in Australia and overseas, the works contained in this book give an appreciation of what it means to live by the motto “Who Dares Wins”.
