REISSUE OF THE UNIT CITATION – CROSS OF GALLANTRY WITH PALM

The Australian Government Department of Defence, Honours and Awards has advised that the previously issued Republic of Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm Unit Citation is incorrect as the Palm leaf should be Bronze, not Gold.

1st Tour 105th Field Battery RAA members who received the CGWP citation with the gold palm, wishing to exchange their citation for the bronze palm citation should return their existing citation for replacement.

Ensure full name, service number, address and contact details are included with the returned device.

The mailing address is:
Directorate of Honours and Awards
