Glass beer mug : Dili Surf Lifesaving Club

Moulded glass beer mug with silver United Nations logo on one side and the badge for the Dili Surf Lifesaving Club (DSLSC) on the other. The DSLSC logo contains the caricature of a shark within a life buoy, wearing a hat, smoking a cigar and flexing his arm muscles with the letters ‘AS-NCE' tattooed upon his shoulder. The glass handle is plain with a multiple pointed star pattern impressed into the base.

The Dili Surf Life Saving Club (DSLSC) was established by the initial members of the Australian National Command Element East Timor (ASNCE-EM). The Club was affiliated with Surf Life Saving Australia and official shirts, shorts and caps were sent from Australia. The DSLSC provided social and recreational activities for ASNCE-EM members and guests, such as a bar facility, movie and hot dog nights, beach days and Australia Day celebrations.
