Knights in Green Armour

By Neville Modystack 

 

Conversations with some of my peers from and reflections on the Royal Australian Armoured Corps from the Vietnam era. As well, some Troopers from other times and some less than serious bits and pieces.

Dedicated to the men of the Corps, Officers, Warrant Officers, Sergeants, Corporals and Troopers all; the good, the bad, and the ugly, and there were some in each of the categories below!

Webmasters comment: Some of the link pages are long, but a very good read, and it is written in the soldiers language, (R) in parts.
