The vets attended the annual service to honour soldiers both living dead who fought in the war.
There were a number of local veterans who were joined by veterans from out of town and even interstate for the occasion.
The service was followed by coffee and lunch at the Bathurst RSL, giving old friends a chance to catch up and share stories.
Another commemoration was held on Sunday, August 20 - the actual date that the end of the Vietnam War was announced - which was held at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park on Boundary Road.
A Western Advocate representative attended the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon to pay respects and grab some photos of the veterans in attendance.
