Unforgettable Australian Vietnam War Photographs

The video features some unforgettable Australian Vietnam War photographs. Includes photographs of the Australians in the Army, Navy and Air Force in the Vietnam War. 60,000 Australians served in the war with 521 being killed and more than 3,000 being wounded. Australian Vietnam veterans were honoured at a ‘Welcome Home’ parade in Sydney on the 3rd of October 1987, and it was then that a campaign for the construction of the Vietnam War Memorial began. The memorial, known as the Vietnam Forces National Memorial, was established on ANZAC Parade in Canberra, and was dedicated on the 3rd of October 1992. The video also features the backing track for the Australian War Heroes Song titled ‘Can You Hear Australia’s Heroes Marching?’, authored by Peter Barnes in 2001.
