I am a currently serving pogo (RAAOC), just wanted to pass on my thanks to all Viet Vets for your committments & sacrifices during that time; Graham "Dolly" Dyer OAM was my RSM when I was posted to 1 RTB as a PL SGT between 1996-98 (he took over from Col Lee OAM) & I would also like to pass on my thanks to him & Lyn for their efforts during his time there as RSM, I know that all of us held him in the highest regard & were very fortunate to have him as our RSM; our wives were also very appreciate of Lyns friendship & her ability to make us all feel part of the Mess. |

15th Aug 2008 I am delighted to see today (14/8/08) the long-overdue Government recognition of the astonishing achievement of the Battle of Long Tan soldiers. I saw many of my friends off to war in Vietnam, and have always been appalled by their subsequent treatment by uncaring governments of both persuasions. I hope you all know that there were always many ordinary Australians who knew of your courage, and the incredible difficulities you faced. My husband and I have travelled in Vietnam, & it only increased our respect for the troops who served there. I hope & believe that as our older servicemen of WW1 & WW11 leave us, that our Vietnam Vets will take pride of place in our Anzac Day celebrations. Deborah Chiswell jdchis@bigpond.net.au 11th August 2008 To all. I was in B coy with Fox as my my Cpl then went to Spt Coy Pioneers in 1977, I am now living in Vung Tau Vietnam any body wants to get me I'im at Tommys Restaurant 94 Ha Long Street Vung Tau Ph +84907378523. I can help with visits to the cross and long hai and so on just ring or email. GLENN NOLAN 17th May 2008 G'day everybody. I'm an ex matelot and brought some of you blokes back home on the Vung Tau ferry in 67. The reason I am contacting you guys is to see if anybody can help me with a claim for dva. On the trip back i was a young bloke in the wheelhouse on the Sydney and a guy from 6RAR,went a little troppo when we turned back north{to kill time as it happened}. Anyway he had been there for a couple of days with his slr, just watching the gyro. When we turned around, I was on the wheel and he made some threatening gestures which thank god was diffused pretty quickly. I f anybody remembers this incident or knows the bloke involved, it would help me terrifically with my claim. My Please understand i donot and have never had any animosity towards the bloke concerned and hope he is enjoying his life.regards to all who served in 6RAR. There is a p.s. Reading the feedback letters;there is a guy called Webb mentioned. Iam wondering if this was the same Webb that I boxed on the way up North? An aboriginal chap, sorry to hear of his death in Vietnam.`I never heard from again after we landed him. Boxed another bloke called Schaeffer, ran into a year or so later in sydney,a good bloke. once again thanks for your help fellows,regards dean [bluey]burton Dean Burton email address: deanbur01@hotmail.com 12th May 2008 I am writing in in the hope that I can obtain information relating to my uncle Robert E Power who served in the 6th Battalion in Vietnam in 1969 and died on May 6 1970. I am slowly finding out more as I go but would love to hear from anyone who served with Bob or knew of him and could share there stories with me. I have only just found this site and will now be getting to know it a lot better. Toby Fowler toby@telpacific.com.au 10th May 2008 This is the first time I have visited this site and I would like to say that it is a fantastic tribute to those diggers that died not only in the Battle of Long Tan, but those many others that died during the Vietnam conflict. My uncle, Private Kenneth Graham WEBB was a member of the 6th Battalion and served in Vietnam during 1966 - 1967. I can clearly recall seeing him off in Brisbane in May 1966. I was only young at the time and a photograph of us all (Ken, my Grandmother, my brother Mark and I) appeared on the front page of the Courier Mail dated Tuesday May 31, 1966. He served in the Mortar Platoon I believe. I am led to believe that Ken rode into Long Tan with the APC's as the battle came to an end. If anyone knows Ken and maybe can confirm this I would like to hear from you. Steve WEBB. webby.59@hotmail.com 14th April 2008
Thanks to all who helped me find Michael Armstrongs family. I now have been contacted and I have given all the photos to his family to keep. His sister e-mailed me and we are now in touch with each other. They were very happy to receive them as they had very little of Micks military history. Just another great reason to keep this site going, keep up the good work folks. Thankyou. 4th Jan 2008 From: US Army SSG Nathan Watkins email address: nathan.watkins@us.army.mil Comment: Great site! 27 Nov 2007 From: Michael Tuckett ( B COY 74-80 ) email address: tuckett7@bigpond.com Thanks for a great website. If anyone can help me find
the relitives of Michael Armstrong who I served with in both A Coy
and B Coy 1975-1980. Mick died some time ago and his sister requested
all assistance in helping with information into his service history.I
have now found some great photoes of Mick and I in Malaysia and Thialand.I
am sure she would appreciate these photos. If anyone has any ideas
could you e-mail me at tuckett7@bigpond.com ASAP.Thanks,
and have a great christmas..See you all around the ridges. |
