The Battle of Long Tan - ZIPPER WALLET - by Kerry Sandhu Art

About the Artwork – The Battle of Long Tan

Painted on ANZAC Day 2022, The Battle of Long Tan is my tribute to the courage, determination and sacrifice of the Australian and New Zealand servicemen who fought in one of the most significant battles of the Vietnam War.

On 18 August 1966, 108 men of D Company, 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, found themselves facing a vastly larger enemy force in a rubber plantation near Long Tan, South Vietnam.

Fighting in torrential rain, with ammunition running dangerously low and casualties mounting, the soldiers faced overwhelming odds. A courageous ammunition resupply by RAAF helicopters, followed by the arrival of armoured personnel carriers and reinforcements, helped turn the tide of the battle.

Eighteen Australians lost their lives at Long Tan. Their bravery, resilience and sacrifice remain an enduring part of Australia's military history.

The painting takes its name from Graham Rodger's song The Battle of Long Tan, which honours the soldiers who fought and those who never returned.

Through this artwork, I remember not only those who served at Long Tan, but all servicemen, servicewomen and animals whose sacrifices deserve to be remembered.
