After years of work and storytelling, the performance of Forgotten Heroes came to life on stage at Burrinja Cultural Centre on Saturday 24 September.

Bringing together RSL members, musicians and others, the performance was a hit with the crowd in attendance.

Telling the stories of Vietnam veterans who had felt forgotten after the war, the performance delved into the scary, surreal and spontaneous adventures of the soldiers who fought in the ’70s.

Mount Evelyn RSL’s Roger Boness was the one of the men behind the stories and took centre stage in a live interview with actor Stephen Hall.

It was a moment for Vietnam’s veterans to feel remembered and honoured for their service and sacrifice.
