18 AUG 66.....Long Tan, Vietnam

For all of you who do not know what happened that rainy day....I suggest you read up on the gallantry and sacrifice our Australians experienced in a pitched battle against overwhelming enemy forces at a place known as Long Tan.

There are recordings of radio transmissions and several documentaries about the battle. There exists a monument to the Soldiers who fought there at the spot the battle took place.
