On the 16 October 1986, a memorial stone was laid at Malaya Barracks, Holsworthy (Sydney), NSW, by 104 Signal Squadron past and present members to honor the mates we lost in South Vietnam .   The memorial stone was unveiled by the first Commanding Officer of 104 Signal Squadron, Lt Col. D. I. Godden.
