In the first National Service Scheme between 1951 and 1959 all young men aged 18 were called up for training in the Army, Air force and Navy. A total of 227,000 served in this period. The second scheme was introduced in 1965 and in the period to December 1972 a total of 63,735 were incorporated into two years full time service in the regular army. Of this number 15,381 served in Vietnam and the remainder served in support units in Korea, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Borneo.
They formed just under half the Army's strength in Vietnam. 212 National Servicemen died on active service.
Guests are invited to a light luncheon following the service and it would be appreciated if those attending could advise the secretary on 4472 1619 or email euronashos@gmail.com for catering purposes.
