Forty years after the battle of Long Tan, Australian war veterans returned to Vietnam, some for the first time since 1966. A commemorative ceremony at the Long Tan Cross marked the occasion, followed by a concert at the Vung Tau greyhound racing track featuring John Schumann (pictured right), who penned what has become the Vietnam veterans' anthem, 'I was only 19'.
