Hello and welcome to the Mortality List for Vietnam Veterans.
The list has been compiled using Units the Veterans were associated with during their time in South Vietnam. Taking information from the DVA Nominal Roll, the member was placed into the first or parent unit mentioned.
For example, if a member was in 1 Australian Reinforcement Unitand subsequently went to 5 Royal Australian Regiment and then to 85 Transport Platoon, then he would appear in 1 ARUwith the other Units mentioned in the list. He will not appear in 5 RAR or 85 Tpt Pl.
The same rule applies with RAAF entries and RAN entries. The first mentioned unit is the “parent” unit . There is a file called Mortality Units List to assist you to locate your unit.
If you are unaware of which unit the Veteran was associated with, go back to the DVA Nominal Roll and search for them there to discover the unit or units they served with in SVN
Some of the entries display “yellow” highlights. This indicates that this section of information is not accurate or incomplete. I ask you to notify this website if you have any information which can assist in completing these yellow sections, by emailing to using the Notification form.
