Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial, Dedicated October 3, 1992 Camberra.
The image etched onto the wall of the memorial is based on the photograph taken by Sgt. Mike Coleridge on August 26, 1967, near Lang Phuoc Hai, Phuoc Tuy Province. It shows soldiers from 7RAR being airlifted to Nui Dat after the completion of Operation Ulmarrah. Quotations on the wall reflect a unique vocabulary developed during the Vietnam War.
