JUNE
1970 to MARCH 1971 |
|||||||
Last night we were ambushing to the Southwest of Lo Gom when it was attacked. We were some 1,000 metres from the village and had a ringside seat watching all the different coloured tracer, red and green. The problem was that the ARVN called for artillery and mortar support and the spent parachute flare tubes( they weigh approximately 10 kg and are steel) were landing all around us. Bloody nice if we receive casualties from these. |

did a sweep of the I
am being sent back to Nui Dat as they feel I need a break, so they are
sending me down to Preparing for Saigon Guard back at Nui Dat. I
flew to |

| One
of my guard got into a fight with a young signaller who was stationed
in That
night I got into a very heated argument with two Warrant Officers who
were discussing an ambush that had taken place on Anzac day (my ambush).
They saw that I was Infantry and decided to ask my opinion and proceeded
to tell me how they could have done it better (at this stage they didn't
know I had been the commander of that ambush). Well, because I was depressed
over the mine incident, I let go. The next day I was fronted before
the RSM of Saigon and reprimanded. So much for I returned to Nui Dat just in time for R & C in Vung Tau. |

We moved back to the Horseshoe where we'll be ambushing at night from.
Callsign 33 Alpha at the Horseshoe just before going out on an ambush patrol 1970 Our area of ambushing has changed to the other side of Dat Do between Dat Do and the Long Hais so we might get something. The end of another month. The platoon tonight will be going out as two separate Callsigns, 33A, which I am commanding, will be going to the bridge north of here and 33 will be going south of Dat Do. Support Section contacted fifteen to twenty enemy at 2000hrs. Result 1 enemy KIA, 1 M16 and 1 RPG7 captured. It is our night on at the Horseshoe, we will be manning Charley Gun (50 Cal HMG). Recce platoon had a contact with two VC at 1800hrs result unknown. At 2300hrs two enemy walked into their ambush with the results that two enemy blew up. A man from Recce platoon stood on a mine. The mine jumped but did not go off. It's our night in on Charley Gun piquet at the Horseshoe. We are to ambush to the east of the 'Shoe' tonight. Last
night was a miserable night for us. It was raining and we got a message
over the radio that the locators at the 'Shoe' had detected enemy movement
to the east of us, so we relocated. They then said the enemy were to
our south, so again we relocated. This happened three times before we
said enough is enough. In 1973, whilst in Recruiting I was working with
an artillery man Dave Doyle and we were discussing different things
that happened to us in We ambushed again to the east of the Shoe. This time near a pagoda. At 2320hrs we heard voices approximately 50 metres away. Due to the rain, it was hard to tell. I took a rifleman with me to check it out with no results. Tonight I have to take an American Colonel out with me on ambush. I have told him he must obey any orders I may have to give, I don't really think there will be any problems. 1330hrs. Callsign 23 (6Pl B Coy) found a bunker system extending over an area 300 x 200 metres. It is a new system. 1930hrs. 8 Pl contacted six to ten enemy. The enemy approached from the south. The results were four enemy WIA (BC), two enemy WIA, drags (Marks); captured was one M16, and one M16 mine. 1930hrs. 8 Pl sighted one enemy moving from the south towards the platoons position, the area was engaged by artillery with negative results. 2025hrs. Lt Kibbey's patrol detonated one booby-trapped M26 grenade, which wounded Pte Ferris, and if my memory serves me right Lcpl Trim.

Callsign 12 (A Coy) located an old bunker system with eight bunkers in it last used two weeks ago. In the system were three 60mm mortar bombs. 1125hrs. 8 platoon contacted four VC. They were sighted 200 metres across a clearing, the results were: captured four packs, and digging implements, one drag mark was found on follow up. 1500hrs. Callsign 23 engaged two enemy dressed in greens. They were fired on with small arms with no results. 1720hrs. 8 platoon contacted two enemy who approached from the Southeast, the enemy were dressed in khaki.

Support section made contact with two enemy dressed in khaki shirts and blue trousers. The results were two VC KIA; two packs and one AK47 captured. A quantity of documents were in the packs. 7 Pl found a bunker system at 1145hrs this morning. It was built within the last few months and occupied approximately eight to ten days ago. Callsign 21A made contact with two enemy dressed in black. The results were one VC KIA, one carbine and one pack CIA. The enemy were moving out of the village heading east. 1320hrs. We have just found a bunker complex. There are fifteen bunkers each with two feet of OHP. They were constructed within the last six months and occupied within the last eight hours. 2000hrs. D Coy had a contact with two enemy as they were moving into their ambush position. The enemy initiated the contact, then withdrew to the Northeast with no results. 2345hrs. 6 platoon B Coy heard four single rifle shots and heard voices due west from their location. Between 20 Jul through to early August we hit two more mines. The first, while the patrol was on board a Centurion Tank. The tank ran over an anti personnel mine doing very little damage but scaring the hell out of all of us. The second was down near the Long Hais when an APC struck a mine and turned it onto its side. People are starting to call us mine platoon instead of nine platoon.

| The
battalion mounted operation CUNG CHUNG 2. During this operation we were
patrolling through fairly thick scrub when the signal came back that
the forward scout had spotted a mine. I crawled forward and saw what
looked to be a D10 (enemy equivalent to our claymore only twice as powerful).
I ordered the patrol back out of the way, took the pliers and started
crawling forward. I didn't go directly at the mine, but aimed for between
it and where I thought the enemy might be. When I got there, which took
about 30 minutes, I cut the wire then crawled
back out of the area to where the patrol was waiting. We then put in
a section sweep from the right flank only to find that I'd cut the wire
of a very expensive censor device. Oh well, better to be sure than sorry!
131 Div Loc Last night I had an encounter with an unwelcomed intruder. We had put ourselves into a clump of bamboo for the night, I was asleep when I felt this thing on my face which I thought was a frog as it was cold and clammy. I soon realised it wasn't a frog as there was a weight on my chest as well. It was then I realised it was a snake. It took over an hour to slither over my chest, across my face and off. As soon as it was gone I placed my machete along side of me for the rest of the night. I don't know what I would have done with it if another snake had appeared. The next day we saw a Bamboo Viper in the bamboo so if that had bitten me that would have been the end. Today we received a resupply by APC. Sgt John Pepper was the commander of the APC's. After the resup he was to take us to a new location. On the way we came in contact and the APC's took off after the enemy with us holding on. Halfway across this open clearing they did a sharp turn to the right, leaving me with no Carrier underneath me. I landed fairly heavily and cursed John when he came back to pick me up. 0955hrs. 7 platoon found a staging area extending over an area 100 x 300 metres. The system had been reconditioned in the last four to five days. 1700hrs.
D Coy located a body approximately three weeks old. The body was credited
to 0910hrs. A26 Possum took ground fire. The hydraulics line was shot away, tail rotor was damaged, there were no injuries to the pilot or passenger. We have just found a bunker system. In it we found four 25 set batteries which we destroyed in Situ. We sighted two enemy at 0917hrs this morning at a distance of 300 metres, we tried to follow them but lost their trail. One was dressed in black the other was wearing a grey shirt. 2030hrs. Callsign 12A (2 Pl A Coy) had a contact with nine enemy who approached from the west. The results were four VC KIA, captured was one AK47, one M79. The enemy withdrew west. Artillery was used in blocking role on likely withdrawal routes. We
found an old defensive position at 1620hrs. Callsign 6 Zero Bravo found fresh cuttings, an animal trap and a marker in a tree consisting of a piece of red material estimated seven days old. 1530hrs. A M16 mine was detonated by a cow. The mine was one of several in a defensive position around an RF Post, the field was not marked in any way. Stupid South Vietnamese! We found tracks of three enemy leading east and some sign-leading north. I have requested that we ambush the tracks, permission was granted. 1100hrs. Callsign 23 (6 Pl B Coy) found a bunker system. The system was last used three weeks ago. There were some medical equipment and supplies found which were destroyed. 2345hrs. Callsign 12A contacted three enemy at a range of eighty metres. The enemy were moving west to east and withdrew to the north after contact. The area was illuminated and a limited follow up was conducted with negative results. We are again on the move the ambush produced nothing. We will patrol to the west. 1020hrs. Callsign 12 (2 Pl A Coy) made a contact with four enemy. Three enemy were believed to have been wounded. On follow up one VC (WIA) was captured the other two escaped. The VC subsequently died of wounds. 1115hrs. Callsign 61 sighted two enemy. The enemy withdrew north, Recce platoon followed up and located a camp recently vacated. The camp was used by up to ten people and was still being constructed. We are now ambushing at GR 498612. We will be on the move shortly. We will take a resup this morning. 1020hrs. Callsign 62 have found a bunker system, which has been used within the last six months. 1650hrs. 578 RF Coy reported finding twenty-two M16 Anti personnel mines. 2235hrs. Callsign 12A (A Coy) had a contact with one VC he approached from the west. Results were 1 AK47 mag captured. 0710hrs. Callsign 12A located one M16 mine the detonator was intact. We returned to Nui Dat. Today was the Battalions birthday. The CO flew up onto the top of the Long Hai's and planted our Battalion flag on his own. tonight the Artillery fired a Starshell mission over the mountain in the shape of the Southern Cross to wish us a happy birthday. We located a system, which extends from GR 498605 to GR 499602. In it we found nine M16 mines, one M26 grenade set up with an anti lift device, one M60 and one mortar round set up as a booby trap. After we had deloused them all we found that the M16 mines were from the Australian minefield. 0810hrs. A Coy located one M16 mine. We were reacted from the Horseshoe today. We moved out by tracks to Callsign 31's position. From there we split into two Callsigns 33 and 33A. I took 33A over to GR 523654. At 2000hrs we heard a noise to our front so I took myself, Ptes Cox, Matulick and White out on a sweep of the area, we found nothing. We linked up with 33 at 0700hrs. We then moved to 31. Then on to 0A (Zero Alfa). From there we moved to GR 537650 where we took a resup off the APC's. On our return to 0A we moved to GR 535676 where we ambushed for the night. Today we started off moving Northwest to the blue line then along that for 600 metres west; we then had to go 900 metres. On arriving at the grid reference we found tracks heading north. Nothing came of them, we moved Northwest to GR 515680 where we set up an ambush. 33 at this stage are at GR 519681, 0A at GR 520650. 0024hrs. A Coy engaged with the enemy. Earlier on in the night a report had been received that a group of enemy had entered the village in the area of the military post at the Southwest corner of Lang Phuoc Hai. The results of the contact were one VC KIA, one M26 grenade captured. A third VC was seen to head back into the village. This is another case of the ARVN working with the enemy. 0036hrs. A Coy again made contact with the enemy. This time with one VC. The enemy approached from the Northeast and could have been involved with the earlier contact. The results of this contact were one VC WIA (heavy blood trail), one pack containing documents was captured. The blood trail went to the south. At 0900hrs we engaged six enemy at GR 515584 with no results. At 1230hrs 30 Charley engaged three enemy resulting in one enemy KIA. My patrol are proving to be a very professional group. 1255hrs. CHQ had a contact with one VC wearing black, the results of this contact was one VC KIA documents on the body identified the VC as being from D445. Callsign 33 found enemy tracks. We joined up with them and followed the track. We are now ambushing, 33 at GR 502669 and 33A at GR 505668. 1315hrs. A Vietnamese civilian reported finding an M16 mine with pin removed. We are separate again today from 33, to ambush for the day and tonight. Today we took on a resup by APC then moved back up north. We are now at GR 499685. A Coy located an M16 mine and destroyed it in Situ. We searched the area around the Soui Lo O Nho. We found a track possibly two days old and ambushed it. We engaged three enemy at a range of approximately 300 metres. The problem I had is that Callsign 33 were directly in line with my patrol some 6 to 700 metres away and I was afraid they may receive some overshoots. I warned 33 to keep their heads down then opened up. The chances of hitting them were slim. I immediately got my patrol to move forward using fire and movement. When we got past the area where we had seen them all we found was a torch and a piece of webbing that one of them had dropped. After reorganising ourselves we moved north and are now ambushing at GR 501715. We are flying back to the Horseshoe today. The Op is over. From
13 September to 6 October we continued our ambush patrols out from the
Shoe. However the CO along with the RSM have decided to try a new tactic,
one which I do not agree with, and that is instead of moving out and
ambushing for the night we will now patrol through the night. We are
putting ourselves in a position we would like the enemy to be in and
that is on the move at night". This is not It
was during this time that I had to take an ambush patrol of eight men
up into the We have been issued with a piece of equipment that is interesting. It is a system that you surround yourself with whilst in ambush. It is an early warning device that is pegged into the ground to the North, South, East and West of your position. If anything walks close to it, it beeps. For example, once if around the one to the front, twice if around the right one, three times rear and four times left. We are preparing to go out for another five days. All senior NCO's are to see the director of Infantry Colonel Preece. Nothing interesting came of it. Today is C day, Currency Change Day, Dick Bailey (our CQMS) brought my Scope out so I took it down and zeroed it in. All the nitrogen had leaked out of it. At 1830hrs we moved out by APC to our ambush position at GR 467569 we got into position by 2100hrs and had a quiet night. 0500hrs stand-to. We brought our Claymores and censor devices in. My patrol consists of Drakefield, Matulick, Cox, Lindsay, Peat, Harwood, Manson, Trickey Ballenden, Gissell, Williams and myself. At 0550hrs we moved into our day lay-up area. Last night was a quiet night as far as we were concerned. B Coy had a patrol clash and the MAT Team had a contact just north of Lang Phouc Hai with negative results. Today is going to be another hot day. Another hot day we were spotted by a bunch of kids looking after their cattle so I'll have to change positions tonight. We'll move into our night ambush position with all our gear then find a new spot tomorrow morning. We are now at GR 466569.It is an old lay-up position, possibly of Callsign 4's (D Coy). Lets hope those kids don't drive their cattle this way today. At 1720hrs we heard a large explosion Northeast of our position. 31A and 33 both reported the same explosion. 2200hrs 0A reported that the explosion was at GR 496556. It was about 20 to 30 lbs of explosives and had been set off by a civilian herding his cattle along route 326. In all probability the mine had been set up to catch vehicles travelling along that road. We returned to the Horseshoe. Piquet on Charley Gun tonight, it would be nice to have a night off. We ambushed 100 metres north of the bridge. We moved out to XUAN MOC with seven days rations on our backs. The troops are heavily loaded down. No one is impressed. At the moment we have stopped for a break. The going is rough due to the weight we are carrying. Callsign 31 and 32 are operating east of the village and 0A are operating to the north. At 1910hrs, 31 had a contact when three enemy walked into their ambush as they were putting it down. A sweep was done revealing 1 AK47 and a blood trail. Callsign
31 did another sweep and found 2 bodies plus 1 RPG7 and another AK47
plus an M16. One of the enemy was identified
as a medic from C70. His father lives in XUAN MOC. The two Callsigns
now consist of: Callsign 33. Kibbey, Quirk, Boast,
We heard voices on a bearing of 4300 mills at a distance of 100 metres. From the 16th until the 28th we continued to patrol the area with no results. 2114hrs. There was movement around Brigid. The enemy were engaged with .30 cal machineguns at a distance of 400 metres. We located a transit camp at GR 662719. The camp was 150 x 150 metres. It was estimated to be about three years old and used about a month ago. It is in poor condition. Five Thomson sub machine gun magazines were found and destroyed by hand. 2000hrs at Xuyen Moc a body was found in the area and credited to C/S 31's contact on the 14th of Oct. D Coy heard a claymore being fired followed by bursts from an M16. No further information is available. At 1120hrs we located an old bunker system estimated to be about two years old and has not been used for a few months, the system covers 250 x 150 metres. It contains bunkers 8 x 6 feet with 12 to 18 inch OHP plus fighting pits, the system is in very good condition it is at GR 583669. Returned to Horseshoe. My platoon is being sent back to Nui Dat for a rest (the troops deserve it). So much for our rest! We got back in yesterday and two hours later I was told to get the platoon ready to go out and reinforce the KIWI Coy who are operating in the Nui Thai Vai area. I will be in command as Kibbey is on R & R. We had a contact this morning resulting in 2 enemy KIA. Today is Melbourne Cup Day. The war stopped for the running of the race, which was put over the radio. Would you believe it, a bloody KIWI horse won the race. I have had nothing but shit from the Kiwi’s over the radio since the race. We returned to Nui Dat. We are to rejoin the company at the 'Shoe' today as another OP is about to start tomorrow. We moved out from the 'Shoe' by APC up into the Tan Ru area. 1435hrs. C/S 22A (B Coy) had a contact. Apparently the enemy moved in quietly onto an OP established by the patrol. The enemy engaged the soldier in the OP. The soldier was wounded but remained on duty. 1535hrs. 7 Pl engaged one enemy as he approached from the Northeast. The enemy was dressed in green shirt and black trousers. Results were one VC KIA, captured were a pack and a quantity of food. Today we will patrol to the Northeast up towards the Song Rai. At GR 574702 we located an old bunker system that hasn't been used for quite some time. 0555hrs. 6 Pl B Coy located an M16 mine when a soldier stood on the mine while crossing a track. The mine jumped but failed to detonate. There was a mine sign on either side of the track in the form of sticks in a cross. The mine is thought to have been laid within the last three weeks. We are still on the OP, at 1500hrs at GR 702669 we found a circular shaped bunker system with T shape bunkers. At 0945hrs at GR 675718 we found another bunker system consisting of ten bunkers 8 x 6 x 2 feet with 2 feet OHP. All bunkers were T shaped, entry and exit tracks are to the north and south, the system is about six months old and last used two months ago, we will stay and ambush in the area. We have moved north and have found bunkers at 1600hrs, we can still smell smoke. I have radioed 0A that I am going to take two men and do a clearing patrol out fifty metres. We followed a well-used track up sixty metres, found nothing so we returned. At 1803 hrs we had a contact with two enemy who caught me by surprise as I had my boots off airing my feet. The enemy approached from the north. The blokes in the western MG pit had put Sing the bushman scout on piquet, the enemy saw him and thought he was one of them and started talking to him, our bushman scout panicked and opened fire. After my heart started again I raced across to the northern gun. I picked up the gun and fired a 200 round burst from the hip, normally I would kick the arse of any Machinegunner for firing a burst like that, and later I had to explain to the OC who had fired and why such a long burst. Anyway I then took four men and did a sweep to our front where we found an M16 rifle and a heavy blood trail. Still carrying the machinegun, I took the four men and as forward scout I started following the trail. We were heading in the same direction we had smelt the smoke in the afternoon before. At seventy-five metres we came across a new bunker system which had been occupied the previous night and had been hastily evacuated within the last ten minutes (if we had gone another 25 metres we would have hit them the afternoon before). We spent the next two days searching and destroying the system. Today is my birthday! Boy, I feel fifty years old instead of twenty-seven. 1 DEC 70 We
flew back to Nui Dat. Op Chung Cung 3 is over. For the next few weeks
we worked out of the Horseshoe doing patrols that I, as I've said before,
strongly disagreed with. We would leave the Horseshoe at last light
and patrol all through the night stopping occasionally to ambush. Christmas
was spent out on operations in the north of the province. We returned
to the Horseshoe where the cooks prepared a belated Christmas dinner.
We were to eat it the day after it was prepared. Unfortunately someone
stole all the January was spent patrolling and ambushing out from the Horseshoe. My Diaries of this time have been lost. Situation: Enemy. D445 PLUS 274 VC Regt plus the Ba Long Province HQ. Friendly Forces. C Coy plus 6 combat engineers. There are no civilians in the area. Execution
General Outline: Phase one C Coy is to fly out of Kanga Pad.
Phase two, we are to move to our platoon AO's. 9 Pl plus two engineers
will secure the Landing Zone at 0800hrs. Rations Resups will be on the
12th and 17th of Feb. We will initially carry 5 days plus six water
bottles per man. Take happy pills (Pills taken before we return to C Coy deployed south of the May Taos today. We secured the LZ then the Coy came in. 7 platoon followed CHQ then 8 Pl came in. The Coy complete then moved north. We left CHQ and moved further north where we ambushed. We remained in that ambush with no results until the 10th. I took a party back to CHQ who had moved up to the transit camp. We refilled with water then guided CHQ up to our position. We then moved from there, Northeast for 600 metres. We took on a resup then ambushed and patrolled until the 17th of Feb. Took on another resup and finished our final Op on the 20th. We have five days left in-country. We flew by Chinook to the flight deck of the HMAS Sydney. The senior NCO's were allocated the same cabin we had on the way up (four November one). We
disembarked from the I have been advised by a bloke who has read these diaries in their draft form, to leave certain things and incidents out as they may be too graphic and could disturb some people. So I have done just that. I
look back now and believe that people will never understand what that
War did to a lot of good men and women I used to get asked quite often
"Oh! You're a Vietnam Veteran, and what's wrong with you"
or I would overhear such things as. 'All At
this time I found out that Jane Fonda the Actress had taken a film crew
across to Many
Men did not ask to be sent to After leave I reported back to 7RAR. It wasn’t long after that, that the Labour Party abolished National Service. As soon as it was announced men deserted in droves. We virtually lost all the Nasho’s overnight. These deserters were to later receive a Medal. (National Service Medal) Having no troops, it was decided that 7RAR would become a school. So myself, Graham Griffith, MM, Kev Gillett and Eddy Edmonds were given the task of writing and proving the Administration and Leadership part of the new system of promotion courses. This took six months. The leadership Pam’s that we wrote are still being used now in 2004. |
