Written records - Miscellaneous - Southeast Asian conflicts, 1948-1975
Description
The scope of this series is inclusive of all conflicts in which Australia has been involved, and related Defence or military matters between 1948 and 1975. These conflicts include the Malayan Emergency, Indonesian Confrontation (Malaysia and Borneo), Far East Strategic Reserve, ANZUK, and the Vietnam War.
Related topics such as Papua New Guinea, Cyclone Tracy and Defence planning, administration and training are also present in the series.
Unlike the far larger miscellaneous series for the World Wars, AWM125 is not built upon a large comprehensive range of records, compiled systematically by the military. Rather, it is comprised of individual or small groups of records that make their way into the Memorial’s custody by more haphazard means. Therefore this series is likely to always be quite random and patchy in its coverage of the topic of Australian involvement in Southeast Asian conflicts, 1948-1975.
