  • The Vietnam War an Australian Perspective
    THE VIETNAM WAR AN AUSTRALIAN PERSPECTIVE [Compiled from records and historical articles by R Freshfield] Introduction What is referred to as the Vietnam War began for the US in the early 1950s when it deployed military advisors to support South Vietnam forces. Australian advisors joined the war in 1962. South Korea, New Zealand, The Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand also sent troops. The war ended for Australian forces on 11 January 1973, in a proclamation by Governor General Sir Paul Hasluck. 12 days before the Paris Peace Accord was signed, although it was another 2 years later in May 1975, that North Vietnam troops overran Saigon, (Now Ho Chi Minh City), and declared victory. But this was only the most recent chapter of an era spanning many decades, indeed centuries, of conflict in the region now known as Vietnam. This story begins during the Second World War when the Japanese invaded Vietnam, then a colony of France. 1. French Indochina – Vietnam Prior to WW2, Vietnam was part of the colony of French Indochina that included Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Vietnam was divided into the 3 governances of Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina. (See Map1). In 1940, the Japanese military invaded Vietnam and took control from the Vichy-French government stationing some 30,000 troops securing ports and airfields. Vietnam became one of the main staging areas for Japanese military operations in South East Asia for the next five years. During WW2 a movement for a national liberation of Vietnam from both the French and the Japanese developed in amongst Vietnamese exiles in southern China.

It’s taken almost 49 years to uncover Vol 1 No IX! This all stared with Barry Guzder sending Grahame Dignam the following email – “Hi Digs, Don’t know if this will make the next E&Es but it’s a good reminder of days gone by! Regards Barry G.” Grahame copied the email to Ed who followed up with Barry as to where the hell did he discover this and here’s his response – “Hi Paul, I had it with all my other Vietnam paraphernalia on returning to Oz in ’68. Put it all away and year and half later sailed to U.K. So mum looked after all that military stuff till I returned in ’75. Just took it all in a box to new house in ’78. Went thru box in 2013, found it and put it into ‘Tracks of the Dragon”. Showed book to friends at bushfire brigade and out it fell! Regards, Barry.” Ed - Bloody amazing “out it fell”, but we are ever so thankful as it now means that Vol 1 No 11 is the only missing issue. Is there anyone else who can perform some magic and produce it? Here’s Barry’s now archived issue - Page 1 of 16 Page 2 of 16 OK, let’s go looking for Vol 1 No IX…someone must have one ferreted away somewhere?? Page 3 of 16 .

    Virginians at War Vietnam: Tet Offensive Resource Packet Contains: Glossary, Timeline, Images, Discussion Questions, Additional Resources Program Description: Virginians at War: The Tet Offensive explores the experience of Virginians that fought during the critical Tet Offensive in 1968, a turning point of the Vietnam War. Launched by the North Vietnamese Army on 30 January, the coordinated attack against thirteen different provincial capitals throughout South Vietnam took Americans and South Vietnamese by surprise. The result was a costly, long campaign that ended in a hard –fought military victory for the United States and South Vietnamese. However, the outcome of the campaign had a significantly negative impact on support for the war in the United States, from which the nation would not fully recover.
