SGT R.R. RYAN RAASC
AATTV 1971
As I have no photographs of my
short tour with AATTV (due to Prime Minister Gough Whitlam withdrawing
most Aussie forces from South Vietnam) in 1971, I have included some
photographs taken from my tour of duty in 1967/68 when serving in AFPO1
(Saigon) and AFPO4 (Nui Dat) as a postie. Tommy Wright, as shown below,
would be familiar to some Team members, he was a close companion of Pat
Phola - ex Burmense Army. Col Ted Serong had recruited both men as advisers.
The shots taken with Tommy Wright - adviser were at his outpost at My Tho
in 1967. I had been befriended by both Tommy Wright and Pat Phola whom
had a villa in Saigon and got to see a few out of the way places.
