Vietnam War MemorialPrint Page 
The War Memorial is dedicated to all those who served in the Vietnam War. The memorial consists of a statue which acknowledges the service to Australia by Vietnam Veterans of Cohuna and a black granite memorial which lists the names of those from district who served in the conflict.
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.
