Recognition to Date
AWM Roll of Honour
The sacrifice of 44 Australians, among the 1,800 Malayan and Commonwealth troops who lost their lives in this 12 year conflict, was not in vain, serving to uphold the sovereignty of Malaya allowing the successful attainment of independence on 31 August 1957, and the eventual creation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963.
After some 47 years since the Indonesian Confrontation was declared over, and after around 10 years of submissions, in 2014 the Australian War Memorial mounted a new Roll of Honour for the soldiers who were Killed in Action, Died of Wounds, or, Died of Injuries, during the prescribed period of June 1962 - August 1966, the Indonesian Confrontation with Malaysia. Of great importance to the members from 111 LAA Bty RAA, was the confirmation that Gunner Stephen Danks and Bombardier Barry Algar were properly recorded. |
