Marching off the OCS Colours
Duntroon 23 March 1986

The Corps of Staff Cadets of the Royal Military College of Australia, whose senior class comprised the last class of Portsea completing their course there, provided a fitting escort to the Colours en route to their resting place in the RMC Anzac Chapel, where they remain on display.

OCS Colours laid up RMC Chapel

The colours of the Corps of the Company of Officer Cadets were paraded for the last time on 23 March 1986 by the Corps of Staff Cadets, which included as its first class the last intake to Portsea which moved to Duntroon at the end of 1985.

The colours were then escorted to the Anzac Chapel where they are laid up beside the old RMC colours which had been replaced by ones with the Australian flag. The OCS colours remained the style of another era, there being no impetus to change to adopting more national symbols in the last few years of the School.
