Battle of Long Tan

[Anonymous]

On this day in 1966 our Australian Soldiers fought in the Battle of Long Tan, we lost fine young men and many more were injured 

RIP all those Australians that died that day, and the many that have died since.

RIP brave men

I knew some of the wounded, and I know some who weren't

When I first met Lt Col Harry Smith he was a major and then promoted to captain.

I was only 19, and I worked at 2 Mil Hosp Ingleburn.

It doesn't seem like 50 years

Er, try he was a Captain, then Promoted to Major, later to become Lt.Col. Harry Smith, our CO with 4th 19th Prince of Wales Light-horse.

Our Mate's are Gone, but not forgotten, in all wars, war is Hell. If you have never been there, then consider yourself fortunate.
