The Company
Only now am I beginning to comprehend the profound impact of Of Service has had and continues to have, touching the hearts and souls of those who encounter it, including me…

Behind every story in Of Service stands an extraordinary individual—a veteran who has offered their life to something greater than themselves. On this page, we introduce you to The Company: a rotating selection of 20 portraits and stories drawn from the 100 veterans whose lives are captured in the publication.
The title, The Company, is a nod to the camaraderie and shared purpose that binds veterans together, both in service and beyond. Each portrait featured here reflects the diversity, resilience, and humanity of this remarkable collective.
Every four months, we share a new group of faces and narratives to honour the evolving stories of those who have served. These images invite you to pause, reflect, and connect with the sacrifices and strength that define the veteran experience.
Through their eyes, you witness courage. Through their words, you hear truth. And through their stories, you understand the enduring impact of their service—not just on them, but on all of us.
This is a living gallery. A space that evolves, just as the journey of each veteran continues to evolve. We invite you to return often, engage with new content, and keep these stories alive in your heart and mind.

What an amazing journey by an amazing lady. Jenani embodies the true ANZAC spirit of courage, mateship, perseverance and sacrifice. A true mate who has helped restore my faith in humanity, a much respected and loved honorary member of the Veteran community. Thank you for caring and supporting us. Truly inspiring.
