The plaque commemorates the personnel who served in the 55 Advanced Engineer Stores Squadron and 55 Engineer Workshop and Park Squadron (55/AESS/EWPS) between 1966 and 1972 during the Vietnam War.
The plaque location is indicated by a red poppy in the second image.
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.
