Vietnam Veterans Speak
Voices of Coral
Oral History Project
These oral histories form part of a wider project led by Dr Leonie Jones to preserve the memories and experiences of veterans who served at Fire Support Base Coral and Balmoral
Through recorded interviews, veterans reflect on the events of May 1968, the conditions they faced, and the lasting impact of the battle. Their accounts provide personal insight into one of the most significant engagements involving Australian forces during the Vietnam War.
This group of veterans represents only part of a broader collection. The full project, including additional interviews and resources, can be accessed at www.fsbcoral.org
