Veterans Description for Public
Heidelberg Remembrance Garden - Veterans Description for Public
The Heidelberg Remembrance Garden commemorates an array of conflicts and personnel including memorial plaquesfor The Boer War, First World War heroes and Light Horse Regiment, Second World War Heroes and Infantry Battalions, an R.A.A.F. Propeller, Prisoners of War, Korea, Vietnam, Victoria Cross Winners, the Partially Blinded Soldiers' Association, War Widows, Totally and Permanently Disabled Soldiers Association, Tubercular Ex-Servicemen and Women and Australian Womens' contributions to Army and Navy services.
Other memorials in the Remembrance Garden include plaques dedicated to Private Bruce Kingsbury VC, and to his battalion, the 2/14th. The plaque lists the names of the 225 soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice in New Guinea on the Kokoda Track, Gona and the Markham Ramu Valley, in North Africa and the Middle East, and the Balikpapan in Borneo.
A Vietnam Memorial was unveiled on 17 August 1999. The Repat holds a special place for Vietnam veterans. The text of the memorial reads:
This memorial is the culmination of thoughts and ideas gathered through contact with Vietnam veterans and particularly those who have had care and treatment through the Austin & Repatriation Medical Centre and the previous Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital.
The rock is a permanent reminder of the paitents who have been cared for and the staff who have given that care.
The white cross is a representation of those who shall stay young forever. The polished front represents the peace and tranquility that those who returned expected from the community. The uncut rough edges represent those who feel they never finished what could only be described as an extremely difficult task.
The reverse of the memorial represents the general feelings of those who returned and their experiences held in relation to negotiating acceptance that they served their country to the best of their ability.
On the reverse of the memorial, a poem is inscribed:
The Five Hundred Not Returned
By Len Curd, Service No. 39042, Unit 106 Field Battery, Nui Dat 1967-68
In earlier days of nationhood
Brave men fought on foriegn shores
Then once again the call was made
For men to fight and die in scores.
Five Hundred men, young and brave
For their country went to war
Most not yet old enough to vote
Yet gave their life on foriegn shore.
Five hundred men of this country great
For them as a nation we should weep
We sent them to die in a hopeless cause
Their sacred memory we must keeps
Fifty thousand were sent to fight
To uphold the traditions their fathers earned
In Vietnam they did their fathers proud
Now let us mourn the Five Hundred Not Returned.
