Join us this afternoon for our Last Post Serviceโ€”a weekly tradition honouring wartime service and sacrifice.

Today, we are commemorating the establishment of the Australian Women's Army Service (AWAS) on 13 August 1941. The AWAS played a vital role in Australia's war effort, with over 24,000 women serving in non-medical roles. Their contributions freed men for combat duty and helped secure victory. We honour the dedication and service of these remarkable Australian women.

The Last Post Service is a family-friendly event featuring stirring bugle calls, wreath-laying, and the lowering of flags.

Each week we commemorate a unique chapter in Australiaโ€™s military history, offering you a meaningful way to reflect and connect.

With the magnificent Long Tan Cross mural as a backdrop, Vietnam Veterans Day was commemorated at the museum today.
The commemoration began with the iconic Vietnam War ballad, I Was Only 19, setting the scene for an emotional service honouring those who served in the โ€˜Forgotten Warโ€™

Long Tan Day, now officially commemorated as Vietnam Veterans' Day, is held annually on 18 August. It marks the anniversary of the 1966 Battle of Long Tan in South Vietnam, where 108 outnumbered Australian and New Zealand soldiers bravely fought off a large enemy force.

D Company of the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR) faced a force of more than 2,000 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops in a rubber plantation.
Tragically 18 Australians lost their lives and 24 were wounded during the fierce engagement, marking one of the costliest single engagements for Australians in the war.
Originally known as Long Tan Day by veterans, the annual observance expanded over time to honor the service and sacrifice of all nearly 60,000 Australians who served in the Vietnam War.

Veterans were welcomed by RSL sub-Branch President Anthony Adams, with veteran John Connolly delivering the address, looking back on his own war service which began when he was only 19.

A barbecue lunch followed at the RSL headquarters.
