The Long Tan Cross

Did you hear the Lon Tan Cross is home! The 521 Australian fallen are honoured From a Vietnam War so unpopular Hail the men of the D Company 6 RAR Who fought the Vietnamese in the rain In a rubber plantation so out numbered And those who died with their faces to the foe Did you hear Long Tan Cross is home! © Paul Warren Poetry

I did read about this. Thanks for posting this tribute. Have fond but hazy memories of sipping suds with some lads at 1ALSG, Vung Tau, 1971. I was a bit tipsy, so don't remember names. SALUTE ~ john, 765th trans bn 71-72
