'A' field battery, royal regiment of Australian artillery : the journey to Phuoc Tuy and Long Khanh / David F. Gibson

David Gibson, a national serviceman, joined the battery in March 1970 and was told very early on that he "was now in 'A' Battery, we have to better than the rest." He tells the story of life in Townsville and of an artillery gun battery working hard on the High Range in Townsville. The battery moved to South Vietnam in February 1971 and was to be the direct fire support battery for 3RAR who were also on their second tour of duty in Vietnam. David gives a very detailed view of how the battery performed in its shortened tour of South Vietnam from official records and from personal anecdotes. This book tells the story of what the battery did in South Vietnam, the highs and low, and how those times banded a group of men together, men who are still good mates all these years later.
