I am developing this site to assist others with history research, in particular Australian Military History. As you can guess my main area of interest is that of Australian Military History. I hope you find this web site of assistance and interesting.
Current Research Project
I recently started researching each of the 521 Australians, recorded on the Australian War Memorial Honour Roll, who lost their lives as a result of the Vietnam Conflict.
I'm producing a book documenting and honouring their lives, including before entering the Navy, Army or Air Force, their service in Vietnam, how they lost life and the affect of their loss on their family and friends.
My reason for writing this book is because I want to ensure that current and future generations remember them,
the sacrifice they made and how their loss affected their families, friends and the mates they served with.
Additionally, as part of my research for my book I am visiting the final resting places of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam Conflict.
Place a flag and poppy at their final resting place as a mark of respect.
I would like to talk to and interview anyone who served with any of the 521 Australians, members of their families or friends.
Please contact me directly via
bazz662@bigpond.com
or via the contact page on this website and I will contact you in return.
Anyone interviewed will be asked to elect whether they are happy to be quoted as a source of information in the book or remain totally anonymous, the choice will be their to make.
