"Recruit training, both aged about 19, Felix (left) died in a single vehicle accident soon after his return from service in Vietnam with the SAS. Motor accidents were a problem for servicemen after 12 months of adrenalin, then normal on return."This series of paintings was created by Robert E D'Arcy, who served as a Corporal in 8RAR in 1969-1970.The images are from colour photographs taken by the artist, each being an interpretation of the snapshot. The photographic image has been simplified with a flattened perspective to give the impression of a 1970s style poster. The olive green signifies the colour of the jungle and the uniforms worn by troops, with the dark shades providing an atmosphere reminiscent of old photographs and their negatives. The paintings in "Snapshots from the Front" depict remembered images that endure in the minds of Vietnam veterans. Robert completed his recruit and corps training with Felix Henry Richards, Service Number: 55669 . Trooper Richards served with 2nd Special Air Service Squadron (SAS) Vietnam, 17 Feb 1971 - 11 Oct 1971. Work in 2 shades of khaki green and black on a white background features two smiling young men in army uniforms with trees in the background.kapooka, army training, vietnam war, vietnam soldiers, robert d'arcy, 8rar, service number 55668, d'arcy, richards, felix richards, trooper richards

The Odd Angry Shot is a 1979 Australian war film written, directed and produced by Tom Jeffrey (with Sue Millikin).] It is based on the book of the same title by William Nagle, and follows the experiences of Australian soldiers during the Vietnam War. The movie, which was shot on location in New South Wales and Canungra, Queensland, traces the tour of duty of an Australian Special Air Service Regiment reconnaissance team from their departure to their return home to Australia. It avoids much of the political comment on Australia’s involvement in Vietnam, unlike Hollywood films which tend to explore the rights and wrongs of the Vietnam War. The film focuses on the soldiers in their cantonments away from the battlefield, where they spend the bulk of their time playing cards, smoking, drinking beer, nursing their tinea, making jokes and messing about with American forces. The film also contains some small scale battle scenes. When the men return to Australia, they reflect on how both they and the general Australian society have changed. (In particular, they find it unwise to disclose that they fought in Vietnam: to do so invited abuse in a society divided about whether Australians should have been sent to fight there.) Sourced from WikipediaThe cover of the DVD depicts several soldiers. There is one with a gun behind his head. Inside there is the DVD of the movie titled The Odd Angry Shot starring Graham Kennedydvd, australian special air service (sas), australian actors, graham kennedy (actor)
