[trenchfighter]

How many diggers were killed at the battle of Long tan,
And, what's the estimated ratio that the enemy outnumbered them by?

 

[slowflow]

The were 108 at the start of the battle. At long tan 18 were killed, it is a high price. The enemy was estimated between 1500-2500.

I had a friend who served in Vietnam, he was traumatized for life & I imagine it is much the same for the survivors of long tan.
The Vietnam war soldiers were never appropriately recognised.
We don't look after our returned well enough.
