Below is a photo that was taken this Anzac Day of my granddaughter and myself. I was representing TS Marmion and the Cadets at Yanchep National Park for the local RSL. My granddaughter is 4 years old and was saluting the old vets as they were laying the wreaths.
ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT VIETNAM
I am passing this along because it is probably the best search list ever compiled about the Vietnam War. This simply has to be shared with anyone who ever served in Vietnam or knew someone who served in Vietnam. It would take months to look at everything this site offers.
Somebody went to a lot of effort on this site... It's one of the most complete that I've seen to date... Feel free to pass it along to anyone you think might be interested.

I was very pleased to see that a reunion of your intake is planned. I have always had a very big 'soft spot' for that intake, having been Walton Divisional Officer at that time. I would be very interested to hear about 'my JR's' and of their post-Leeuwin careers. My home address is: * (available from John Hogg) and my telephone number is 02 62317541. I would also be very pleased to hear from any members of the two divisions who may be interested in contacting me.

NEW AWD
Remember No 8's ?
This is the new RAN working uniform to replace overalls. It wasn't some faceless bureaucrat that decided on this style; this is what the sailors wanted. Not as attractive or as comfortable as the 'Steaming Rig' that was worn on the Ships.
