General Meeting and Veterans' Lunch - Sunday 27 September 2026

A note to remind you that our General Meeting and Veteran's Lunch is on this Sunday, 27 September 2026, at 1100 in the RSL Club.

All members are welcome to bring a guest for the lunch. If you need to bring a friend who can provide transport, that person is welcome to be your guest for the lunch.
The lunch is open to all veterans, not just members. Please invite any non-member veterans that you are in contact with to join us on Sunday. (Note that a non-member veteran does not count as your guest; you can still have a non veteran or partner or friend as your guest). We also invite widows of former members to join us and to become Affiliates so that they can continue their association with the veteran community. If you are in contact with any of our former members' widows, or other members and veterans who need assistance with mobility, why not see if you can assist them to get here.

We look forward to seeing you there.

This year, we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan in South Vietnam on 18 August 1966.

The Battle of Long Tan was one of the most significant battles fought by Australians during the Vietnam War. On 18 August 1966, Delta (D) Company, The Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR), defeated North Vietnamese and Vietcong troops during an ‘encounter’ battle in the Long Tan rubber plantation. The plantation was close to the 1st Australian Task Force base at Nui Dat. D Company suffered 42 casualties, including 18 dead – more than one-third of its strength. D Company's 105 men and 3 New Zealanders from 161 Battery, Royal New Zealand Artillery, fought for almost 4 hours against soldiers of the North Vietnamese Army, who outnumbered them by 10 to one. Some 245 North Vietnamese and Vietcong troops were killed. Australians observe Vietnam Veterans' Day on the anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan.

The photo attached is a painting of the Battle of Long Tan, painted by official war artist Bruce Fletcher in 1970. Shows action between 'D' Company and Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army forces. Events that happened at intervals during the battle are shown happening simultaneously. Oil on canvas, 152 x 175 cm. AWM ART40758
