During the afternoon and evening of 18 August 1966, D Company of the 6th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (6 RAR) fought an intense battle with a much larger force of Vietnamese communist troops near Long Tan in South Vietnam.
In Australia, the tradition began in 1965 when Governor-General Lord De L’Isle presented the 4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (4RAR), with its Colours.
The Australian commitment, known as Operation Solace, saw 1 RAR deployed for 17 weeks to a 17,000 square kilometres Humanitarian Relief Sector (HRS) centred on the township of Baidoa.
Today, the regiment's traditions are maintained by 'B' Company, 5th/6th Battalion, Royal Victoria Regiment.
