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
