Road Runner Diary

My diary of my time as a National Serviceman in Vietnam has been published by Lulu.com

I called it the ‘Road Runner Diary’ because my platoon (85 Transport Platoon) was, in my time, known as the Road Runners.

I prepared it from a small diary that kept while I was serving in Vietnam, along with information from that letters that I had sent to my family. This printed edition has over a hundred full colour photos from the original slides that I took when I was in Vietnam.

You can find it at this link on Lulu.com

This is not always the case! Today I attended the annual commemoration […]
