@gtwilson That's about a sixth of it. There's an M113 & a 40 mm Bofors at one end of the wall and a Centurion tank at the other. A separate four-panel display at the M113 end tells the stories of the four Australian recipients of the Victoria Cross in the Vietnam conflict. Here's a pic from Google Maps Street View showing most of one side of the wall.
@sumudu My question was prompted by another user who felt something was out of whack with Blurbybot. Hence my test query.
On their honeymoon in April of 1956, whist driving a pickup towing a small caravan, my parents were stuck behind one of these things for about 20 miles. There was nowhere to pass and Centurion tanks rarely exceed 21 mph.
The second-last name in the the seventh column operated a dairy farm next to ours. He had a rough time coping with the return to civilian life. Now retired from farming, he works for Legacy, a part of the Returned & Services League. Legacy looks after partners and children of deceased service personnel. He has personally intervened to assist both my mother & my mentally-retarded brother.
Thank you, Bill. We salute you.
Here at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Wall in the delightful town of Seymour. I'm sitting on the seat of my rollator walker waiting out a sciatica attack. When that's eased off I'll tackle the ither half of the walk.
Here's where I'm going today: http://www.vietnamvetswalk.org.au Been intending to get there sometime and the weather forecast is a fine rain-free afternoon. A two-hour drive and I might drop in on my cousin Helen who lives there. It's also my grandfather's home town.
