Ernest Grant Park: Memorial History

Ernest Grant Park commemorates Private Ernest Francis Grant of Thurgoona. He was killed on 18 August 1966, aged 20, during the Battle of Long Tan in the Vietnam Conflict (1962–1972). His father, Gordon Grant, ESQ., unveiled the memorial plaque on 16 August 1987.
