More than half a century after Australian troops pulled out of the Vietnam War, the Australian army has helped recover the bodies of North Vietnamese troops involved in one of the biggest battles of the conflict. More than 40 bodies have been recovered from the site of the Coral-Balmoral battle near Tan Uyen in Binh Duong province. The conflict started in May of 1968 and claimed the lives of 300 North Vietnamese soldiers and 25 Australians.
