Gloucester is proud to be hosting a day to commemorate Vietnam Veteran’s Day
The Battle of Long Tan was a pivotal Vietnam War engagement on 18 August 1966, where 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers held off over 2,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops in a rubber plantation near Long Tân, South Vietnam. Recognising all those who served in this conflict and to mark the 60th Anniversary of the battle, the sub-Branch has decided to host a commemorative service. To allow as many as possible to attend the commemorative service will be held on the Sunday the 16th of August at the Gloucester Memorial Clocktower commencing 11:00am.
Tea/coffee will be available from 10:30 for those travelling from outside the district and a complimentary BBQ lunch at Billabong Park will be available to all after the commemoration.
