🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🤝

Congratulations on holding your Middle East Area of Operations commemoration and dinner! A really great welcoming initiative that all Sub Branches should consider!!

After joining the Army in 1966, I spent my first 3 years of my 15 year army carer in 111Battery which was an anti aircraft battery on these 40mm Bofos, interesting to see one being restored, makes me feel even older than I am

bob buick wants to tell the truth

and the government couldn't care less

Pops was in the remeberance day photos. Walking out of a jungle with a rifle. (Moreton bay) Miss ya pops

The energy here that day was so strong. Just amazing. And so very good that more public statues of women are being erected acros the continent.

Good on you all!!!

Beautiful story.

Are there any similar places in Brisbane?

I am not am young veteran anymore. I served in SVN in 71. I saw "Jocko"on 4wheel drive 24/7 and was interested in what you do. Having said that, I live in Townsville.

Much respect my Brothers. C co. 2nd battalion 327th Infantry 101st Airborne Division..Vietnam 1968-1970

Ban ANZAC day, it's obscene, you invaded someone else's country on the other side of the world for the Bankers. Akin to the Germans commemorating the 22 June for the catastrophic invasion of the USSR. Aussies wake up, you and forefathers went to war on msm lies and half truths, whether Boer war, WW1, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. I had two great uncles destroyed mentally by the ww1, then came home and destroyed themselves and their families. Repeatedly warned my kids, never serve, never enlist for the Bankers again.

What a shame everyone controlling the money for the Vets in Queensland are scammers and dishonest AF, they are spending a drop of what the fat cats make to make some cheap hampers for the Vets 🙄 Rob, you are a disgrace to vets everywhere

Rest in peace Mr Harry Smith 🌹🌟 🇦🇺

Yo is that Charlie?

I had the privelege of being the Reviewing Officer in 2000 assigned by 7 Signal Regt (Signals officer who came up through the ranks). I was impressed by the courtesy and friendliness of all the towns people. Keep it going Esk and my best wishes for your future. One of the best sub-branches I've ever attended. Love your town as well!!

Celebrating all the Human Beings the ENGLISH have MURDERED around the globe !! 👺👺👺👺👺

Respect and thank you.

Love to all aussie vets on Remembrance Day

I will always remember. I do not know what it was like or will ever now what a war would be like but I can only think and imagine of the atrocities that went on in people lives. Respect dignity honour integrity and hope that's why it is so important never forget always remember the heroes that gave There life for hope of humidity .. from the planet Australia channel ❤

Guy has 1 of every ribbon and medal

It’s about time the Australians get the recognition they deserve! They were good to have on our side good people too. 101 Airborne Vietnam 69-71

18 soldiers died not 17. Honestly at the time he didn't give 2 s**t about them men out there during that battle. He's known as one of the most selfish and hated commander.. I've spoken to a few of the guys who were there and at that time he was simply trying to make a name for himself.. im not saying he's a bad man im sure after all these years it probably does bother him knowing his selfishness but hey thats war.. alot of things go under the table and kept hush hush..

Read the late Lt-Col Harry Smith's story "Long Tan - the Start of a Life-Long Battle" to realise the quota system of (British) awards in that war. And those at the back who got the awards, rather than the fighters at the front. For whom Col Smith fought for 40 years, for their just recognition in that battle.

I’m an ex Infantry soldier who served in 8/9RAR & 3RAR with my Brothers 🇦🇺 Stories of Long Tan and Tobruk is why I wanted to enlist and serve in the Infantry 🔥

Full credit to all of D company RAR, and the guys in the APC's, the artillary, and the helocopter crews. Not so good was the higher comanders who were more a hinderance than a help, and yet they awarded themselves higher medals. To be fair Canberra did not resource the Brigade they way they should have. There should have been at least 4 infantry battalions, more armour [including tanks], more artillary, and more helcopters. And they really needed a battalion of engineers to set up, not a squadron. Asking 2 battalions plus some support assets to dominate a province of 100,000 square kilometers and a population of 100,000 with known strong Vietcong presense of at least a regiment, and probably a division [as they found out later] was sheer lunacy. The medals. Pathetic Australia. You cannot "ration" bravery. Reward citations, "bottom-up", not top-down. And have independent investigators who are not part of the chain of command. If you get to be a colonel or brigadier, you are already supposed to be exceptional, why do you need to award yourself a medal? Because you need that to get your next promotion don't you? Many of the medals for Colonels and generals are fake, oyu just need to count the body bags and wounds of higher officers. If they all really did earn those DSO's there would be more dead and maimed colonels. That is how it works. Going into the battle zone AFTER the action was over, and awarding yourself a DSO? Seriously? [Then] Major Harry Smith was there, in the thick of it, with his command. And all the people who actually fought there. Not the "tourists" who came later. And the 'head-shed" stroke their beards and wonders why they can't recruit enough people? I wonder why? Some loyalty pointing DOWNWARDS into the ranks would work wonders.

Harry was a good man, and Soldier. Proud of the men he led. Rest in peace Harry and thank you for being a great Australian.

Sad to hear of your passing. RIP Aussie legend. Angry to hear that "The Parrot" aka Peter Fitzsimons annoyed you in your final years. The Parrot got most details wrong in the faux obituary he wrote for $$$$$ in the Nine Network toilet paper (once aka the Sydney Morning Herald). The truth has been documented by you and your colleagues and will always be available in the War Memorial and the Dept. of Veterans Affairs recordings for future generations to learn about the champions Australia produces to protect and defend this country.

The thing hat sticks in my mind is the utter careerist crap the Army and politicians demonstrated after Long Tan

He is a true legend

Lest we FORGET

RIP LTCOL Harry Smith SG MC Australia has lost one it's greatest servants.. Thanks Mate for that you did for Australia

So many MMs, DCMs and possibly VCs not given.

LTCOL Harry Smith SG MC, RIP 20 AUG 23

George Crowe. RSL please run wellfare check on George Crowe.

Another Vietnam Vet I knew well was Ken Easden who took me into the caravan park when I was forced to leave my parents house. He put up the Annex and let me finish my studies in the tent. We owe it to our Vietnam Vets as they taught us so much about war and are so often very kind and generous of their time.

Please run a check on George Crowe who fought in the rubber plantations in Nam. I spent Christmas with him and quite a bit of time with him and last time I saw him he was storming around and not too bloody happy

Well spoken, Kel Ryan .. I have been teaching English in Vietnam for four years now .. using a hackneyed phrase , the people here , especially the younger set , have " moved on " from that ghastly era for all..
