FED: Two-up and football for Aussie troops in Afghanistan

Australian troops in Afghanistan are expected to commemorate Anzac Day with a traditional
dawn service tomorrow .. joined as usual by heavy contingent of Afghan soldiers and locals.

At various patrol bases .. there will be special breakfasts .. games of football and
two-up .. although the last might be a tad difficult to explain to the locals.

Lieutenant Colonel JASON BLAIN .. who commands the Mentoring Task Force One at Tarin
Kowt .. says Afghan soldiers are proud to share the day with the Australians.
