90 Ad Astra Issue No 145
This year, on August 18, we marked the 50th anniversary of the end of Australia’s involvement in the Vietnam War. During the Vietnam War Australian society wrestled with the war effort, and so did the College community. The Social Service committee organised collections to support various charities and appeals. The ‘Ad Astra’ reported on Old Collegians who were serving in the war. These men are honoured in the College’s Memorial Foyer. Read more about them by scanning the QR code.
