Get involved with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force Association

Discover how your participation can honour a significant chapter of Australian history and support the legacy of the "Forgotten Force". Join us in preserving their memory and ensuring their sacrifices are never overlooked.

Why your involvement matters

Getting involved with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force Association costs you nothing but offers immense rewards. Cherish the memory of a parent who was a BCOF veteran, or seek assistance in finding their service records and medal entitlements. Connect with other veterans' families and ensure that the extraordinary contributions of these men and women are properly remembered and rewarded.

Ways to contribute and participate

There are many ways to support the Association and honour the BCOF. Speak to others about this important part of Australian history, join ANZAC Services, and share what you learn with your family. By showing respect and remembering their service, you help educate future generations about the significant role Australia played in post-war Japan and in establishing world peace.

Who should get involved?

We welcome veterans, families of veterans, historians, and anyone who is patriotic and values our history. If you want your children to learn Australian history that profoundly impacted our country's role in global peace, your involvement is invaluable. Help us ensure the men and women of the British Commonwealth Occupation Force are never forgotten.
