SOUTH VIET NAM. CLASP FOR AUSTRALIANS
Statement by the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies
Her M; 1aj esty The Queen has approved the award of
a special clasp to the General Service Medal 1962 for
Australians serving in South Viet Nam.
The award will be made in recognition of
operational service in Viet Nam and terms and conditions
for the South Viet Kami Clasp will be similar to those for
the recently-announced Borneo Clasp. In most cases, the
qualification for the General Service Medal and appropriate
Clasp is a minimum of thirty days' service in the relevant
theatre. I am sure all Australians will share my satisfaction
at the approval of these awards, recognising the
distinguished service which our men are giving in Viet Nam
and Borneo.
CANBERRA, 17th December, 1965.

Period of Service: 19/12/1949 - 26/01/1966
