The National Servicemen`s Memorial commemorates those who undertook national service in the Australian Defence Forces from 1951 to 1972. During that time more than 200 young Australians lost their lives with a further 1479 being wounded in service.
Between 1951 and 1972, 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.
