Made by The Commonwealth Film Unit 1966. Directed by John Abbott. In making this film about the Vietnam War, the Australian Commonwealth Film Unit did not look for battles and heroes. This was to be the story of the young Australians who were carrying on the standards of service begun by their grandfathers during the First World War. The emphasis was on people, both Australian and Vietnamese. The intention was to show what war really feels like.

  • This is fantastic. Everything I have been teaching on to my History class is being shown in real footage. I will show this to them tomorrow, on Remembrance day how fitting. Thanks from a grateful History teacher!

  • @ss3cleric Thanks for the good feedback. It's great that you are able to use this material in your class. We have put up a new video for Remembrance Day too.

  • I've heard of the ANZAC, the Australia, New Zealand Army Corp, but I didn't know that they fought in Vietnam.

  • @Seattlecarnut Yes. Wherever the US Army goes Australia is sure to follow.

  • @FILMAUSTRALIA While I find it difficult to agree with our government for why we go to war, I have always, and will always honour our troops who are risking their lives for themselves and for their people.

  • @Seattlecarnut Yes, two different issues for sure.
