86ers Rex Walmsley, Nick Birt, Barry Clayton, Alan Nolan and Ken Powick was taken on 12th March 1972 45 years ago as they disembarked from HMAS Sydney
86 Transport Platoon arrived in Vietnam in January 1967 and departed in March 1972. Approximately 500 members served in Vietnam during those years.
The platoon was based at Vung Tau in the Phuoc Tuy Province and provided transport services to all facets of the Australian Army sphere of responsibilities.
This took the form of troop movements, supply and ammunition transportation, dump trucks, semi trailers, gunjeeps and busses.
This website is dedicated to those 86 Transport Platoon Members and to pay tribute to those that are no longer with us.
