    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    CDT3 contingent 5.

    A mate of mine, " Cowboy " Garrett was in this group. Awarded a mention in dispatches, for his actions diving on ships alongside Vang Tau, during which time a number of VC sappers were captured, and a new type of Russian limpit mine retrieved intact. This allowed thorough investigation of the mine, in order to formulate a plan to disarm it. " Cowboy " was a character, front row forward, we played a lot of rugby together. He married a lovely Asian woman, opened a curry restraunt in Cairns called 'the ring of fire '. Worked in civilian diving for a while, last heard of living on Russell Island, making bespoke furniture. If you meet him, buy him a beer. He deserves it.

    MAY 1969. The switch to pacification . Interesting to see the American Pysops advisor's thoughts , in Phuoc Tuy province, Major Desmal C Smith JR.,


    There is one group of military within the province that has the admiration and respect of all the citizens to include the [Viet Cong Infrastructure and Viet Cong/People’s Army of Vietnam] units. This group is the 1
    st
    Australian Task Force. The quickest way to bring pacification to Phuoc Tuy Province is to give the mission to the 1
    st
    ATF. Make the Province Senior Advisor and all district and Company advisory positions Australian positions. I know this recommendation will be frowned on and only cause me to lose more skin off my own nose, but it would work because the Australians would make it work. The only problem of trying it and seeing it work would be that we the Americans would look like hell in the other 43 provinces where our efforts and plans have failed to work.
