Book, Papworth, Richard, Saigon, Long Xuyen And The Delta: South Vietnam, 1967. Recollections of time spent with the Australian Surgical Team
The Australian surgical teams that were sent to South Vietnam arrived with supplies, experience, enthusiasm, and a commitment to win the hearts and minds of the civilian population. Beyond the cure, care, and the repatriation of the military, there were medical needs in regional areas that would be an on-going challenge for this small band of dedicated professionals.The Australian surgical teams that were sent to South Vietnam arrived with supplies, experience, enthusiasm, and a commitment to win the hearts and minds of the civilian population.

Book, MacGregor, Sandy, No Need for Heroes: The Aussies who discovered the Viet Cong's secret tunnels. (Copy 1), 1993
The first tunnel rats: this is the thrilling, hilarious and inspiring true story of a ragtag band of Aussie Army Engineers who redefined the word heroes...and reinvented larrikin to. Amongst the first Australians to fight in Vietnam, they faced death every day defusing Viet Cong booby traps - then partied all night in a casino they'd built in secret. They led hundreds of American troops to safety, but fought the US military police to a standstill in the bars of South Vietnam. They built the Australian Task Force's base - then sabotaged a headquarters conference, booby trapped showers and blew up a generator rather than kowtow to newly arrived officers.The first tunnel rats: this is the thrilling, hilarious and inspiring true story of a ragtag band of Aussie Army Engineers who redefined the word heroes...and reinvented larrikin to.
