Royal Australian Air Force Vietnam Honour RollPrint Page 
The wooden honour roll commemorates members of the Royal Australian Air Force who died in service or were killed in action in the Vietnam War.
Australia's military involvement in the Vietnam War began with the arrival of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV) in South Vietnam during July and August 1962. Australia's participation in the war was formally declared at an end when the Governor-General issued a proclamation on 11 January 1973.
However, the end-date of Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War has officially been amended to 29 April 1975 to reflect Australia’s further involvement in the war during the fall of Saigon in 1975. The Department of Veterans Affairs and the Australian War Memorial, in Canberra now recognise this new date.

This Plaque
This plaque was cut from the trunk of an Australian Native
"Red Iron Bark" (Eucalyptus Sideroxylon)
The tree was chosen because it is indigenous to Australia,
and it will survive in the hardest conditions.
