National Servicemen`s MemorialPrint Page 
The National Servicemen`s Memorial was erected to commemorate the 300,000 young Australians who were conscripted into the defence force between 1951 and 1972 and to honour the 200 killed and 1,500 injured while serving their country.
Between 1951 and 1972, a total of 287,000 young Australian men were called up in two separate schemes for compulsory training in the Navy, Army and Air Force. Of them, 212 died on active service in Borneo and Vietnam. National Service was part of Australia’s defence preparedness for three decades.
