Naming: Those made in Vietnam were issued un-named but when production
was passed to Australia the recipients name was impressed on the
reverse.
Comments: Awarded to Australian and New Zealand personnel for six months or
more service in Vietnam. Locally produced versions of this award
were rather crude so production was moved to Australia where a better
quality star was produced.
