Australian Vietnam Veterans Mortality Listing Web Site
(Unfortunately this link is no longer available)
This site contains a detailed database listing names of
veterans who have passed away since return from Vietnam.
As successive Governments over many years have tended to ignore
the sad effects of war, we feel it is important to ascertain and
classify causes of death for Vietnam Veterans.
The list is as complete as we have been able to make it, and
contains over 3000 names. However, there are sure to be names
missing. Please contact us if you have any information at all
that may help to make the list complete. Deaths reported
through the VVAA Report
of the Death of a Vietnam Veteran will be forwarded to this
site.
The bursary has been established to help needy children of
Vietnam veterans meet the cost of full-time tertiary education
and help them get the formal qualifications and skills needed to
pursue their chosen career. For more information, go to
the hyperlinked DVA site.
If you are a member of the VVAA, or if you simply like what
you see and want to help us continue to help others, you can
make a donation to the VVAA. Click on the hyperlinked heading!
You can join the Association as a member of our remote and
overseas members'
Virtual Sub Branch. You must be a veteran or the
descendent of a veteran - and we will check! Pay dues
electronically, and receive information via email. This service
was established due to the number of enquiries we receive from
the United States and remote areas of Australia.
What does it cost? About $US12 per year! Exact
cost depends on the exchange rate between the US and Aussie
dollars.
Next Generation
The children of Vietnam veterans, the
Next Generation are mobilising to share information,
experiences and help one another. For those in the Lismore
area, Hunter, Central Coast and the Taree/ Manning, while those
in other states should contact the relevant
State Branch.
Australian War Memorial
The Curator of Private Records at the War Memorial is keen to acquire more
personal records of Australian Servicemen in Vietnam. Contact phone numbers on
