‘Victory for Moscow’.
That's the theme for this year's Infantry Day Celebrations across the country as the Royal Fiji Military Forces remember the life of Sefanaia Sukanaivalu and others, who lost their lives in the line of duty.
Head of the 3rd Fiji Infantry Regiment Lieutenant Colonel Jone Kalouniwai said they chose the theme ‘Victory for Moscow’ because of the National 7s team who are camping at Queen Elizabeth Barracks.
Lt Kalouniwai added that they want to show the players their support as well before they leave for battle in Russia.
Kalouniwai also said that yesterday is not only about going through the infantry skills.
The day started with a dawn service where three wreaths were laid by Lt Colonel Kalouniwai, Chief of Staff of the RFMF Brigadier General Mohammed Aziz and Digicel Fiji 7s Captain Lepani Botia.
Meanwhile, Fiji will play Tonga at 12.28am next Saturday in their first pool match of the 7s World Cup.
We then take on Uruguay at 6.28pm next Saturday and Fiji's last pool match is against Wales at 12.42am Sunday.
The Cup quarterfinals start at 9pm Sunday, the Cup semis kick off at 12.40am Monday while the World Cup 7s final will start at 4.55am Monday.
