Welcome to the website of C Coy, 5 RAR,
we hope that you enjoy your visit.
"Our God and soldier, men alike adore,
Just at the brink of ruin, not before.
The danger past, both alike requited,
God is forgotten, and the soldier slighted."
Thomas Jordan 1612-1686

THE MEN of C COY 1966/67 - 'THEN and NOW'
Since 2007 I have been endeavouring to collect photos of all the men who served with C Coy, 5 RAR in South Vietnam 1966/67.
The project, called 'Then and Now', lists all men that we know of who served with C Coy and includes name, Known As, their rank and sub-unit where we are aware of them. Where possible there are two photos of each man, one from the Vietnam era and the second is a more recent photo.
We now have both photos of 118 men, plus 1 that we only have a 'Now' photo of, 41 that we do not have a 'Then' photo of and only 11 men that we do not have any photos of. We have a total of 171 men that we know served in C Company in Vietnam 1966-67.
We are still actively looking for the members with whom we have lost contact and if any visitor is able to help by using this Email Contact Form, it would be greatly appreciated.
To see a list of the 17 Members that we have no contact details for »Click Here«.
If anybody can help with any of the photos that are missing it would be greatly appreciated, I can be contacted by using this Email Contact Form.
If you wish to see the current 'Then and Now' Project click below, it is quite a large file so please be patient. When you have finished looking at the Project, just close the window or tab that was opened. »Click Here«.

CONTRIBUTIONS NEEDED
This is a web-site that has been designed to be interesting, informative and, above all else, to preserve the close bonds that were formed between the men of C Company, 5 RAR, those many years ago. It will only survive if it is regularly updated and renewed with items, photos and anecdotes from the men who were part of C Company of 5th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment, during 1966/67 in South Vietnam.
Therefore, if you were one of the select few who were privileged to be a member of 'Chuckles Company', please contribute any of your memories, photos or anecdotes that others would enjoy. It does not matter how small and inconsequental you may think it is, it is part of our history and will be enjoyed by the members.
