AUSTRALIAN MILITARY

The detailed pictorial history of the Sixth Battalion (The Royal Australian Regiment)(ANZAC) from 1969 to 1970.

Three of the Australian infantry battalions that served in Vietnam were ANZAC units, incorporating companies of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. This book tells the story of one such unit: 6RAR/NZ (ANZAC) Battalion.

“With ANZACS in Vietnam” features hundreds of colour and black-and-white photographs taken by Australian and New Zealand members of 6RAR/NZ during that unit’s 1969-79 tour of duty in South Vietnam. Most of the photos have been stored in private collections since that time, unseen by the public. Forty-one years on they have been assembled here to show today’s generations how Australian and New Zealand soldiers lived and fought during the most controversial war of recent times.

Also included with each book is a 4-minute DVD containing historical movie footage taken by a member of the unit, accompanied by the original song “The Green Soldier,” written and performed by former Perth duo, Two’s Company.
