Honouring Old Newingtonians’ operational service post-Vietnam War

The ONU and the College have agreed to develop an honour roll to record the names of Old Newingtonians who have served in operations since the end of the Vietnam War. Honour rolls currently exist for the Boer War, the First and Second World Wars and post-1945 conflicts up to and including the Vietnam War. Since then, Australia has committed service personnel to operations in the Balkans, Cambodia, East Timor, the International Coalition Against Terrorism, Iraq, Iraq 2003, Kuwait, elsewhere in the Middle East, Namibia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Somalia.

The only practical way to develop such an honour roll is for Old Newingtonians to identify themselves or others they know. If you would like to do so, please let us know, including a summary of your operational service, via the Alumni Office, please write to alumni@newington.nsw.edu.au. If you identify others you know, we will make follow-up contact with them.

It is possible that some Old Newingtonians might not wish to have their names recorded on this honour roll. Names will only be included with permission,
