2011 $1 Centenary of RMC Duntroon PNC

In 2011, the Royal Military College (RMC) at Duntroon celebrates 100 years of preparing officers for service in Australia’s permanent military forces. Following Colonel William Throsby Bridges’ 1908 report to the Minister of Defence on the operation of military colleges in the United States, Britain and Canada, Bridges set about establishing the RMC on a former sheep station near Canberra named “Duntroon”. The first buildings were constructed by mid-1911, and on 27 June the Governor- General, Lord Dudley, officially opened the RMC.
