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!

Lim'Rik Flats December 6, 2017 at 9:19 AM 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
