Compilation - Memories of Service 4
Web (Full Length) – 2017
I wasn’t old enough but I basically told my parents that with parents’ consent I could go at 19 - they either signed the paper or I forged their signature. So I went and arrived in Vietnam about fifth of May 1967.– Vietnam veteran Dez Harrison
I was selected to go to Oboe. Oboe, never even heard of it. Oboe turned out to be the most effective means of illuminating targets wherever.– Barbara Howarth, WWll WREN (Women's Royal NZ Naval Service)
I found that the biggest problem of being an air gunner … it was a very lonely job, as you can imagine, and it was a cold job.– Reg Dunbar, WWll tail gunner
