My Father served in WW2 (was under age at the time 16 ) with S.R.D (Z Special ) at the end of the war all document were destroyed the Government of the day did not want the people of Australia to know what these people got up to ,the old man copped a lot of flack for years after the war form the mates who he join up with to what he did in the war it was not until the late 60’ that he was allowed to tell them and the only information that we do know today are from those people who have written books about their mission in south east Asia .I also have three uncle who served as well two were in the RAAF and the other was with the 9 Division in Tobruk .I served with A,R.A (N.S)From 1971-1973 though I never got the chance to go to Vietnam I would have gone if I had been ask too
