Private Richard Norden posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross

Governor-General Samantha Mostyn was joined by Prime Minster Anthony Albanese to posthumously award Private Richard Norden the Victoria Cross for actions taken in the Battle of Fire Support Base Coral during the Vietnam War. "The citation for Private Norden reads – for most conspicuous acts of gallantry in action in the presence of the enemy in the AO surface area of operations in the Bien Hoa province Vietnam on 14th of May 1968 during the Battle of Fire Support Base Coral," Ms Mostyn said. "The Victoria Cross for Australia is Australia's highest military honour – the awarding of it speaks to Private Norden's courage and selflessness."
