    Photos Aussies and Kiwi's in Vietnam

    I know that the Aussie SAS saw action in Vietnam, does anyone know other other Aussie units were there? There is talk in some military history circles that the British SAS also saw action.

    Article Water, water, everywhere, and not a drop . . . .

    The VC were less then enthusiastic about our incursion into the Duc Pho area, in fact they were downright hostile. Every village was fortified with bunkers, tunnels and spider holes, every CA was contested. Resupply ships were shot at, every extraction was hot and mortars fell like rain. Dawn...

    Article More Duc Pho Moments

    One Shot Charley As April ‘67 gave way to May things began to change around Duc Pho. The first thing that went was the name, LZ Montezuma just didn’t sound right when the Army said it, so the place became LZ Bronco. The brigade CP arrived along with a mess tent, meaning we could have a hot...

    Article Welcome to Duc Pho

    April 16, 1967 Just a “little” firefight When I first saw LZ Montezuma it was a simple triangular earthen fort built by the French/ARVN/Marines, maybe even the Japanese, with a primitive airstrip on the west and a 500 foot mountain sticking up out of the coastal plain like a wart on a...

It was supposedly 3 days spent at Vung Tau, a city at the mouth of the Saigon River on the South China Sea. It was in III Corps so I had never been...
