Dedication Signals Vietnam Plaque
Australian War Memorial

10am, Tuesday, 19th August 2008

Royal Australian Corps of Signals
Association (ACT Branch)

In 2000 the Director of the Australian War Memorial (AWM), Major General Steve Gower AO, introduced a scheme whereby units, squadrons and ships which had seen active service could dedicate a plaque to be placed in the AWM's Western Courtyard to recognise the sacrifice and service of their members. So far nearly 100 plaques have been dedicated and there are about thirty on the waiting list. Eventually the entire Western Courtyard will be surrounded by these plaques and they are already attracting visits from thousands of pilgrims and visitors. The RA Sigs Association (ACT Branch), on behalf of all who served in Signals units in the Vietnam War, undertook to join this National scheme and arrange for an appropriate plaque. The design and manufacture of the plaque have been completed and now we invite all RA Sigs members and ex-members, especially Vietnam veterans,  and their guests to the Dedication Ceremony to be held on the 19th August 2008 at 10am, in the Western Courtyard, AWM.
