Anti-war movements had begun in the USA and Australia, and protests intensified.
This was achieved over the following year. Only a small number of Australian troops then remained in South Vietnam. A ceasefire was announced on 27 January This enabled American and allied forces to complete their withdrawals. With American and allied, including Australian, forces withdrawn from the war, an uneasy truce existed between North and South Vietnam. On 4 January , after violations of the ceasefire by both sides, South Vietnam declared that the war was restarted.
Without American military support, South Vietnamese forces struggled to contain an enemy offensive. By March , North Vietnamese forces were advancing on Saigon. Meanwhile, Khmer Rouge forces seized control of neighbouring Cambodia. They delivered Red Cross and United Nations supplies and evacuated embassy officials and their families, foreign nationals and some refugees, namely war orphans evacuated from Saigon to Bangkok in Operation Baby Lift. Australia's military involvement in the war ended on 25 April with the last Hercules flights into and out of Saigon.
On 30 April , North Vietnamese forces captured Saigon. This effectively ended the Vietnam War, which had raged across the country, and into Cambodia and Laos, for nearly two decades-if the First Indo-China War is included, the area had been torn by conflict for almost thirty years.
The Department of Veterans' Affairs would like to display here the names of the ships' crews during this visit. Unfortunately, despite extensive research, the ships' lists covering this timeframe cannot be located. If you were a member of either ship at this time please contact the Nominal Rolls team, with your Service number and full name, at nominal. The primary purpose in publishing this Nominal Roll is to recognise the Service of those members of Australia's armed force who served in Vietnam.
The Roll was first released in book form in After that release, it was decided to include, in future versions, particular groups of Australian civilians. In deciding which groups to include, consideration was given to those that were either included in the Veterans Entitlement Act or eligible for campaign medals. To retain recognition of their contribution, this website includes the names of members of these groups listed by organisation in alphabetical order.
Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans
They are not included in the searchable listing. Of all those sent to Vietnam eleven members of the Australian Army carried out their allotted tasks without a word of complaint, which was all the more commendable considering they could not return home when their tour of duty ended. These veterans were, of course, the tracker dogs used by the Australian Task Force. The dogs were the core of Combat Tracker Teams that were used from until the last combat troops departed in Each dog would complete around a three year tour before they were 'retired'.
Generally, a Tracker Team consisted of the two dogs and their handlers, two visual trackers and two cover men a machine-gunner and a signaller.
However, each Battalion had their own way of doing things and so you will find, for example, in 6RAR during their second tour from June to May there were 3 teams in use. The dogs were trained at the Infantry Centre, at Ingleburn in NSW, and came from a variety of sources, including the local pound. They were outstandingly successful in carrying out their tracking task and, although not trained to detect mines, the dogs were intelligent and sometimes able to do so. The Australian Army policy was that the dogs would not be brought home at the end of their service. One reason, perhaps not adequately explained at the time, related to an Army veterinary report which noted that large numbers of American tracker dogs in Vietnam had died from a tropical disease, thought but not confirmed to be transmitted by ticks.
The report recommended that no tracker dogs be allowed back into Australia "even under strict quarantine". Homes were found with European or Australian families resident in Saigon for 10 of the 11 dogs. One dog, Cassius, died of heat exhaustion after a training run.
If you have further information concerning the service details of these dogs, please contact the Nominal Rolls Team. If the individual served under an alias, that information will also be displayed where known. Nicknames will not be displayed, as they are not recorded on the service record.
If a woman married while enlisted, and the military authority amended the service record to her married surname, then that surname is displayed. This approach has been taken so that the displayed surname aligns with the surname recorded on the service record. In such cases, a maiden name may not have been collected. Service numbers are allocated by the relevant Service and, in some instances, changed during service. The Service number used in the Nominal Roll is the one held by the individual at the time of their departure from Vietnam or the date of death in Vietnam.
The parent unit or units to which an individual was allotted for duty within the defined operational area of Vietnam. During the course of Australia's involvement in the conflict, there were changes in the criteria used by the Services, and by Army in particular, to determine dates in relation to Vietnam service. This Nominal Roll uses the following criteria:. Service is taken to have begun on the day of the individual's departure from their last port of call prior to arrival in the Vietnam operational area. Service is taken to have ended on the day of the individual's arrival at their first port of call after departing the Vietnam operational area.
Where a veteran had multiple tours in Vietnam, a Certificate printed from the website will show in the 'Service Between' section the commencement date of the first tour and the completion date of the last tour. Ports of call used in the above criteria include those outside Australia e.
