Lest we forget.

Today, on Vietnam Veterans’ Day, we honour the Australians who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War. Almost 60,000 Australians served in Vietnam between 1962 and 1972. More than 500 lost their lives and over 3,000 were wounded.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan, one of the most significant battles fought by Australians during the war. On 18 August 1966, Australian and New Zealand forces fought for almost four hours in torrential rain against a much larger North Vietnamese and Viet Cong force. Despite being heavily outnumbered, they held their ground. Victory came at a heavy cost, with 18 Australians killed and 24 wounded.

RSL National President, Peter Tinley AM, today featured on The Last Post Radio Show Podcast, where he discussed the significance of the Battle of Long Tan and the leadership of Lt Col Harry Smith SG MC during the famous battle – and in the decades after. You can listen to the episode via the link in the comments.

Today, we remember those who fought at Long Tan and honour all Australians who served in Vietnam.

Lest we forget.

They are seeking respondents for their online anonymous 15-20 min survey from any and all adult Australian citizens and permanent residents living in Australia.
Please make sure you are represented in this meaningful research by completing this fascinating survey and also forwarding it to any others who may be interested. There are $100 vouchers to be won if you complete it!

Last night, Emerald RSL proudly hosted its first Veterans Dining-In Night, and it was an outstanding success.

The evening brought together current serving members and veterans from across many generations of service, creating a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, share experiences and strengthen the bonds that unite our veteran community.

It was a powerful reminder of the importance of veteran welfare, mateship and connection.

Emerald RSL remains committed to hosting events that bring together our current serving and veteran communities and ensure those bonds continue to grow.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported and contributed to what was a truly significant evening in the history of Emerald RSL.
