Hi Chris. Great tribute and well played. I was in 3 Cav Regt in Vietnam in 1966/67. I played my bagpipes there. I believe that I was the first Aust soldier to do so. Best wishes and Tally Ho the Fox.

@47jannie Sorry for late reply mate, we were travelling, I have had many a comfortable ride in an APC as a Grunt so I have a great appreciation for you guys. The terrible alternative was walking with all that stuff on your back. If you email me I will send my DVD (freeof course) chrismyralaurenson@live.com.au
