Citation states:  The Battle of Coral/Balmoral began on the morning of 13 May 1968, when 102 Field Battery and mortars from 1 RAR were attacked by 1000 plus fresh and well-armed NVA where the ratio NVA to Australian was 13:1.
Bloody hand to hand fighting pursued until the impact of 102 Battery firing splintex at point-blank range into the massed NVA broke up the attack and saved what was left of the mortars and the guns of 102 Fd Bty.
