ABC News footage from 2016 at Richmond Airbase Sydney
Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War began with a small commitment of 30 military advisors in 1962, and increased over the following decade to a peak of 7,672...
From the time of the arrival of the first members of the Team in 1962 almost 60,000 Australians, including ground troops and air force and navy personnel, served in Vietnam; 521 died as a result of the war and over 3,000 were wounded.
By the time the last Australian personnel were withdrawn in 1972, the Vietnam War had become Australia's longest war, eventually being surpassed by Australia's long-term commitment to the War in Afghanistan...

My Father fought in the Pacific in WW II. He had nothing but good to say about his "Aussie" friends! May God Bless these fallen soldiers and comfort their families.

Johnboy using wifes computer. My Dad was a top turret gunner on a B25 in New Guina(spelling) and a purple heart veteran. His most interesting stories were those of the Aussies and the everyday people he met while in Australia. He even went kangaroo hunting with an Aussie millionaire for a month while recovering from wounds-a great story all by itself. My Dad had a tremmendous respect for the everyday people of Australia and for the soliders and airman of Australia. It was a respect that lasted his whole life. He was a man very much defined by the events of WW2 as were many Australians and Americans.

@zhukie 5 лет назад

It was quite good in evoking the sense of being in battle. However some glaring factual mistakes...no, they didn't run completely out of ammo, no, Major Smith wasn't a cunt lol, no he didn't carry a sidearm...and the dialogue was yankified Hollywood in many cases, unfortunately. Not how Australian troops of the 1960s spoke. And the trigger discipline, ouch lol

@tonyvu2011 3 года назад

The Brits briefly took control of Vietnam just after 1945 as Japanese commander only surrended to Brit commander, a fact not very well known. For a short period the Brits were doing a good job to calm the situation and was winning the trust of locals. But the French screwed up again when control was handed back to them, lost control of North Vietnam to communists and finally left VN with a civil war in 1954.
