My husband was a very proud member of 7RAR and served 2 tours of duty with that Battalion in Vietnam. On the 1st tour from 2/4/1967 to 26/4/1968 he was a Corporal and on the 2nd tour from 16/02/1970 to 14/01/1971 was a Sergeant.
He was promoted to an officer after the 2nd tour and retired as a Major with an AM which was awarded after his efforts as Chief Ceremonial Officer for the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane. His nickname was "Pom" or "Pommy" because he migrated from the UK.
