Request to meet up with 161 Bty SVN Gunners in NZ on ANZAC Day 16
I served with 161 in Vietnam Mar-Nov.1969. I was posted to 1 Field Regt LAD RAEME and was then informally attached to 161 when required as Gun Tiffy for the Battery. 161 provided Fire Support for 9RAR and I was involved in most Fire Support Bases including FSB “Thrust” near the Long Hais.
I was in NZ in the 70’s and recall meeting the BSM at an RSA in Takapuna in the 70’s. The only other name I have is Alby Carr (everyone called him Truck)
I hope to be in NZ for Anzac Day 2016 and am looking to attend where they may be some 161 Veterans from the 1969 tour. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
My email address is: [email protected].
Yours Sincerely Jeff Bowthorpe.1733973 L/Cpl. RAEME.
