Gippsland Vietnam Veterans Chapter Memorial Wall

Members form the Federal Veterans Chapter braved a sunny and fine Friday 20 Oct to ride 680km to Drouin in Victoria, to attend the Gippsland Chapters Fallen Brothers Wall dedication on Saturday 21 Oct.

The ‘wall’ was the finalisation of around a year’s effort involving the local community who provided materials for construction, other Chapters who provided the details of fallen brothers, and the Gippsland Chapter who provided funding and labour to construct the Memorial Wall.

Constructing of the Memorial Wall was seen as a unification effort as much as an opportunity to pay tribute to the club and the local community. This is reflected in the 6 panels that comprise the Memorial Wall one panel each for the  Vietnam Veterans and Veterans, Vietnam Veterans and Veterans MC Supporters, ADF Members lost in training, two panels for ADF Members Baw Baw and surrounding areas.

It is intended that the Memorial Wall will become an annual event to allow for additional fallen brothers to be honoured and as an opportunity to pay tribute to those who served. 

For the Federal Chapter it had significance as they had two members on the Vietnam Veterans and Veterans Memorial Wall, Robert Verzeilberg aka ‘Chilli Bob’  and Daniel Burton aka ‘Sumo’.
