Lieutenant General Toolan prepares to toss coins into

description

Summary

Lieutenant General Toolan prepares to toss coins into the air during a game of “Two-up” April 25 at the Sergeants Mess as Marines continue to commemorate 100 years of Australian and New Zealand Army Corps Day alongside their Australian Defence Force counterparts April 25 at Robertson Barracks, Palmerston, Australia. Toolan is visiting the Marines of Marine Rotational Force – Darwin during his trip around the Pacific. “Two-up” is a traditional Australian game, involving a designated "spinner" throwing two coins or pennies into the air. Players gamble on whether the coins will fall with both heads up, both tails up, or with one coin a head, and one a tail. The game is traditionally played on ANZAC Day. MRF-D is an excellent opportunity to improve our knowledge of one another’s customs and traditions which ultimately strengthen our military interoperability. Toolan is the commanding general of U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by SSgt. Jose O. Nava/Released)
