VIETNAM VETERANS \u2013 LONG TAN DAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Written and read by Lt Col Wendy Say<\/p>\n

18 AUGUST 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Good morning our veterans, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.<\/p>\n

While I have had the pleasure to meet many of you here today, for those I have not yet met, I am Lieutenant Colonel Wendy Say and I am the Senior Australian Defence Force Officer for Kokoda Barracks.\u00a0 It is my honour today to give the address for the Vietnam Veterans Day Memorial Service.<\/p>\n

Kokoda Barracks has a long and proud history which commenced in 1942 when the Land Headquarters Training Centre \u2013 Jungle Warfare was established.\u00a0 It was decided by the government of the day that the Army needed a Jungle Training School to prepare its soldiers for the rigours of fighting in the Pacific.\u00a0The Centre closed in 1946 to reopen in 1954 with the emergence of the communist threat in South East Asia.\u00a0 For over a decade in the Vietnam era, Kokoda Barracks trained officers and non-commissioned officers in jungle tactics; and trained units in jungle operations.\u00a0 Over 10,000 soldiers each year experienced the tough and realistic training before being sent to support the Vietnam War effort.<\/p>\n

Today we gather to remember Australia\u2019s most costly battle in the Vietnam War \u2013 the Battle of Long Tan.\u00a0 But today has become about more than that single battle.\u00a0 Today we remember all of those who served in Vietnam, those who returned with physical or mental injury, and those 521 Australians who paid the ultimate sacrifice.<\/p>\n

While the Battle of Long Tan was not a decisive victory, the Battle of Long Tan \u2013 just like Gallipoli 50 years before \u2013 is a story of bravery and sacrifice, of grit and determination, of teamwork and mateship. On this day, the 18 August 1966, in a battle that was to last just over three hours, eighteen soldiers were killed in action and 24 were wounded.\u00a0 Their average age was 21 years.<\/p>\n

At 11am, 108 men from D Company, the 6th<\/sup> Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment were sent out to search for enemy, all of them a little annoyed to be missing the base visit and concert by Col Joye and Little Pattie.\u00a0 None of them were expecting the vicious attack they were about to encounter as they listened to the last sounds of music, pushing through the long grass and into the Long Tan rubber plantation of the Phuoc Tuy Province.<\/p>\n

First contact was at 3:40pm.\u00a0 At the same time that the battle commenced, so did an intense storm which only added to the confusion and terror.\u00a0 D Company was splintered into separate groups, each under direct attack from the relentless VC who had a ten-to-one numerical superiority.\u00a0 Communications between the groups had been destroyed and the numbers of wounded were high.<\/p>\n

I could go on to dissect the battle in detail, as the integration of infantry, artillery and armour is a perfect case study of combined arms effects.\u00a0 But I won\u2019t do that, because this battle is also the perfect case study of teamwork, bravery, resilience, endurance and perseverance, and that is why it is so important in Australia\u2019s history.\u00a0 Today, the veterans of Vietnam are not remembering tactics; they are remembering their mates.\u00a0 In the words of Private Jim Richmond who was wounded during the Battle, \u201cThe dream I have all the time is all the young blokes that were killed on the day. I still see their faces. Like Doug, Shorty, Mitch, Glen, I tell them that when I wake up the next morning that they\u2019d all wake up with me, but they never do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why do we remember Long Tan? Why do we remember Vietnam? Why do we as a nation continue to commemorate the many wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations in which Australia servicemen and service women have served and lost their lives?<\/p>\n

We remember to honour those brave men and women. We remember to thank them for what they did for our yesterday so we can enjoy our today and tomorrow. We remember to remind ourselves how fragile peace really is. We remember so we can learn from the lessons of the past.\u00a0 We remember in the hope that our children and grandchildren and all of the generations to come will never have to experience the horrors of war. That is why we remember.<\/p>\n

While the long established name of the Jungle Training Centre was changed to the Land Warfare Centre, the mission of Kokoda Barracks has not changed.\u00a0 Today, Kokoda Barracks continues to train and prepare officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers for the wars of the future.\u00a0 The training we provide today continues the proud traditions and high standards set by those who have come before, so the soldiers of today and tomorrow are as steadfast in our commitment and selfless in our service to the nation as the soldiers of yester-year.\u00a0 We honour and remember the service and sacrifice of D Company, the 6th<\/sup> Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and, we honour and remember the service and sacrifice all Vietnam Veterans, not just today, but every day.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget<\/p>\n
