Impressions: Australians in Vietnam

Touring Exhibition

16 August 1997 to 18 August 2000

Impressions: Australians in Vietnam tells some of the personal stories of the Vietnam War. The exhibition explores the experience of Australians who served in Vietnam and their subsequent reflections on those experiences. It takes us from the arrival of Australians in Vietnam to their return home. The exhibition draws from the Memorial's extensive collection on the Vietnam War. Defence PR photographs and paintings by Australia's two official war artists' Bruce Fletcher and Ken McFadyen are contrasted with snapshots of service personnel as well as Ray Beattie's Image For A Dead Man and Dennis Trew's Names From The Book Of The Dead. Impressions: Australians in Vietnam examines the enduring impact and controversy surrounding the Vietnam War.

There is also an online version of this exhibition.
