This picture was taken by a Army mechanic in Vietnam sometime in 1968-69.

Wow! That was my Dad's unit during the Vietnam War! :shock:

I dunno whether that Moke is Army, it is LHD and the photo is reversed. (Check the number plate). It looks civvie rather than Military.

Cheers,

He was a ginger beer. If the website only covers the workshop guys, that explains why Dad is not listed.

Dad passed away in Jan 2003. Mum still has his 17th Construction plaque on the wall.

Cheers,
