The National Servicemen’s Association of Australia represents the 287,000 young men the government called up for service during two conscription schemes.
About 227,000 were called up between 1951 and 1959, during the Korean War, and were intended to form the 3rd Australian Imperial Force (AIF), but hostilities ceased and they were not needed.
Navy and air force National Servicemen aged 18 did six months’ full-time training while army National Servicemen served three month’s full-time and then the balance part-time in the Citizens Military Forces.
These National Servicemen remained in their respective Reserves for another five years.
Between 1965 and 1972, National Servicemen aged 20 were called up for two years’ full-time service to the army during the wars in Borneo and Vietnam.
Of the 64,000 called up, 19,500 served in Borneo and Vietnam and the remainder were in support units in Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Another 35,000 served for six years in the Citizen Military Forces (CMF).
At the listed GZ you will find a memorial dedicated to some of those servicemen who served.
First you need to work out a simple calculation
ABCD = 1st year on the plaque
EFGH = 2nd Year on the Plaque
IJK = the number of servicemen who paid the supreme sacrifice
Now work out the final
