Hi Luke, we don’t give out access to the raw data but there’s no reason why you and your tourists can’t access the site while in Vietnam. One of the reasons why we wanted to include Google street map in the map selection was so that people could use the site in Vietnam to visit the sites of battles where they can pay respects to those of both sides who lost their lives.

Hi Luke, Yes, we’re still interested in the Lavarack data, but fully understand the pressures that life brings. I’m pretty sure that Amy has catered for the datum shift but I’ll leave that to her to explain – it’s way beyond my competence!

Hi David, we’re hoping to have the ability to upload scanned images onto the site in the next few weeks. It would be terrific if you could upload the scanned 3 Cav Commanders’ diary extracts when that capability is available.

Hi Ron, Once you’ve found the contact and opened the pop-up, you can click on the ‘add note’ button. That will open a page where you can tell the story as you recall it.

Thanks for this contribution. I wasn’t aware of this contact at all. Any report that was submitted afterwards probably went to HQ AFV, so doesn’t appear in our database of 1ATF contacts. Thanks very much for filling us in on the details.

Hi David. It’s not ‘totally missed’ as you claim. It is there on the battle map although there is not much information about it. That’s where you come in. What we would like you to do is use the ‘incident note’ button to add your recollection of events. That way we can fill in any missing data and add to the collective memory.
