Ill, p.464.non-fictionFifty years after they served Australia in the Vietnam War, sixteen veterans of that conflict from the Yarra Valley sat down with the Mt Evelyn RSL's historian and revealed, some for the first time, their wartime experiences.Their stories tell of our nation's involvement in Vietnam and spans the period 1964 to 1972. They served with the Navy, with the Regular Army, with the CMF and as National Servicemen. Their backgrounds varied as much as their experiences 'in country' during that time.It is a story of sacrifice and endurance, bravery and loss, good times and bad times. It reveals the environment they were forced to exist in and the role they played, from the mundane to the terrifying.Surviving all of this they then returned home to a nation where many people ignored or even condemned them. For most, those decades after the war were an ongoing battle to deal with the physical and mental scars.vietnam war 1961-1975 – personal recollections – australia, veterans - victoria - yarra valley - biography

Ill, p.309.non-fictionAs the Second World War came to an end in 1945, the hopes of a lasting world peace were soon dashed as defeated Fascist governments were quickly replaced by the rise of Communist aggression and the heralding in of a Cold War that threatened a third world war and the use of nuclear weapons. In the sixteen townships and suburbs that made up the former Shire of Lillydale, these turbulent times had an effect on the lives of its residents. Whether they debated and argued locally over communism in the pubs, the halls or the local newspaper or whether they put on a uniform and sought to suppress it or fight it on battlefields, in the air space or on the sea lanes throughout Asia. Using the words of the men and women from that area who lived through it, this book reveals how our nation’s fight against communism between 1945 and 1970 effected this district in many ways, and the role that those from the district played as a result. shire of lilydale - history, veterans - victoria - yarra valley - biography
