Duc My

Myself and one other digger are going up to visit Duc My next week. We were both Sappers back when and I was with D Company and Alan Christie cant remember but he was there. Operation Sydney I was one of two sappers that encountered the VC in the Tunnel, well big bunker really early in the day. He was later recovered after we released CS gas down there. He survived with leg wounds only. My partner in crime was was Doug Sanderson ... Doug's last op in country.
This has been arranged for us by a couple of Vietnamese friends and their fathers. I reside in Cambodia. Enjoying your publication. I took part in quite a few operations with 5 RAR and 6 RAR as well.
We are very proud of our Magazine Holdfast and is for the Tunnel rats. You might like to google it
