36 - Why was Long Tan a Victory?

27 min•21 april 2019

We continue our discussion with Dave Sabben, PL COMD of 11 Pl at Long Tan.

We discuss hand overs and the long term impact of the Long Tan victory by D Coy 6 RAR.

 

We look at how MAJ Harry Smith prepared the Coy - the training, the techniques and the mindset that set them up for success.

What had his experiences been and how did that help set D Coy up for success on the battlefield?

 

What was the reaction to the US forces to the reports of the battle that had been sent by the Task Force and why did they get the Presidential Unit Citation?
