"Must be a couple of those oriental beauty's my wife is so worried about".

Another oriental beauty.

No comment.

A night at the boozer (Ptes Colin Smith, Kevin Cook and Darryl Waddell).

To keep the goffers cool (Ptes Les Agar, Joe Gorczynski and Eric Johansson). (Webmaster's Note: "goffers" is slang for drinks).

A frustrated RQ (W02 Wally O'Brien).

Chief Clerk, S/Sgt Ray Heffernan, patient, cool, calm, understanding and half out of his mind.

Those basic rules and Pte John Drysdale.
  • The Rules of Engagement prohibited soldiers from firing their weapons unless
    • They are positively identified as enemy
    • They open fire first and are not obviously friendly
    • They fail to stop when challenged and are not obviously friendly
    • By night they approach a position and are not obviously friendly
      • If in doubt do not shoot.

Man with the "jubey juice" (Hon Lt Gill Currie).
