Tribute08: Among our guests

I arrived in Nui Dat around April 1966 and for most of my time in [103 Field] Battery [RAA], I was an Ammo Number. Our battery position was alongside your 161 Bty until it was moved to its new position overlooking Luscombe Airstrip about 3 months before we came home. At that time I was placed on a gun - which one I simply can't remember.
_____On our return to Oz, our battery became 103 Medium Bty. I only stayed in the battery for another 12-14 months. I did a transfer to RAEME and was trained as an Aircraft Airframe/Engine Fitter, working on both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. I discharged from the army in Feb 1986.
_____I am now retired and loving it. My wife, Elwyn, and I are flying to Christchurch on 01 April to start our holiday. We intend to tour the South Island in a motor home till the end of Apr, then move to the Nth Island and continue our motor home travels until the reunion* in Wellington. We have booked into the James Cook Hotel for the duration of that weekend, and will be flying back home on 02 Jun. We are looking forward to meeting you and being part of the reunion*._____
