5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment Roll of HonourPrint Page Print this page


Photographs supplied by Sandra Brown

The honour roll commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action while serving with the 5th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment during the Vietnam War between 1966 and 1970.

Australia's military involvement in the Vietnam War began with the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) in South Vietnam during July and August 1962.  Australia's participation in the war was formally declared at an end when the Governor-General issued a proclamation on 11 January 1973.

However, the end-date of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War has officially been amended to 29 April 1975 to reflect Australia’s further involvement in the war during the fall of Saigon in 1975.  The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Australian War Memorial, in Canberra now recognise this new date.
