Memories of Service 5 - Wally Wyatt
Web (Full Length Episode) – 2017
The sergeant was due to come home. So he moved out and, although I was just a gunner then, the next day I was a sergeant. Just like that. Oh God! Sometimes you can be lucky.– Wally Wyatt
There was a regiment of the Van Doos., the French Canadians: the Royal 22nd Regiment. And they were the most unpopular people ever. I think part of it was because they ran the Army FPC (Field Punishment Centre) in Seoul.– Wally Wyatt
They dropped us in Whenuapai. There was nobody there to meet you, nobody there to greet you in any way at all.– Wally Wyatt
