The Vietnam War at the time was Australia’s longest war. It began with thirty military advisors in 1962 but by the time the last troops left in 1972 approximately 60,000 Australians had served in Vietnam, including 15,381 conscripted national servicemen. Altogether 521 died as a result of the war and over 3,000 were wounded.
