Beschreibung
Die Schlacht von Long Tan fand am 18. August 1966 auf einer Gummiplantage in der Provinz Phu?c Tuy in der Nähe der Stadt Long Tân, etwa 95 Kilometer von Saigon, der heutigen Ho-Chi-Minh-Stadt, im äußersten Süden der Republik Südvietnam statt. Hierbei kam es zu einem größeren Begegnungsgefecht zwischen der 1st Australian Task Force (1 ATF) und den vereinten Kräften der Nordvietnamesischen Armee und der Vietcong.
The Centurion was the primary British main battle tank of the post-Second World War period. First introduced in 1945, it is widely considered to be one of the most successful tank designs of the second half of the 20th Century. The Centurion remained in production well into the 1960s and took part in combat operations around the world until the 1980s. During its long service life more than 15 countries utilized it and it saw combat in Korea, the Middle East, Northern India and, of course, Vietnam. In australian service by the mid 1960s almost 150 Centurions were serving with the Australian Army. February 1968 saw the first deployment of Aussie Centurions to South Vietnam in support of Australias expanded military commitment there. Over the next four years all three of Australias 1st Armoured Regiments squadrons would fight in Vietnam, providing close fire support for the Aussie Infantry. The Centurions size, mobility and weaponry provided a powerful tool in both offensive and defensive operations. On active duty Vietnam Centurions were modified in country to better suit the actual conditions of operating in a lush and tropical environment. The tanks distinctive side skirt panels were removed to prevent local vegetation and mud building up between the tracks and the mudguards. At the same time an externally-mounted fuel tank was added to the rear end of the Centurion providing an extra 100 Imperial-gallons of fuel. This particular Centurion, call sign 32 belonged to 2nd Lieut. Mick Butler and helped defend Firebase Balmoral against repeated North Vietnamese Army assaults between 26-28 May 1968. Battle record almost 60 different Centurions fought in Vietnam with 42 of them suffering varying degrees of battle damage... only 6 however were total right-offs... and just two crewmen were actually killed in battle. An amazing safety record and a tribute to the tanks sturdiness and reliability. This King & Country Centurion is dedicated to all Australians who fought and died in Vietnam and... a magnificent main battle tank.
