25 Years Since Australia's Involvement in Timor-Leste - We Need Your Help!
We are commemorating 25 years since Australia's service in Timor-Leste began with the United Nations led International Force East Timor (INTERFET).
On the 20th of September services will be held at war memorials around the country to honour this anniversary.
INTERFET was a multinational peacekeeping force, led by Australia and authorised by a United Nations Security Council Resolution, tasked with restoring peace and security in Timor-Leste.
In 1999, after the Timorese people courageously voted for independence and sought international assistance, Australia stepped forward.
From 1999 to 2000, under the leadership of General Sir Peter Cosgrove AK AC (Mil) CVO MC (Retd), INTERFET became Australia's largest peacekeeping mission, marking the country's biggest overseas military deployment since the Vietnam War. Australia contributed 5,500 Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel, working alongside forces from over 20 other nations.
At the Virtual War Memorial Australia we have a page on the force here: https://vwma.org.au/explore/campaigns/87
Unfortunately, we currently only have 9 records of people who served in Timor-Leste; we need your help to expand this part of our database.
If you or someone you know served, please contact us and help us enter in their details. We need to be able verify your service so please send through a copy of your Statement of Service. It should be noted that listing on this memorial requires that you have discharged from service and are not an active reservist.
