One of the more remarkable but little known campaigns of the vietnam War was fought inside the 200 miles of secret tunnel networks around Saigon between Viet Cong guerrillas and special American forces known as "Tunnel Rats" guerrillas - vietnam - cu chi, vietnam war, 1961-1975 - vietnam - cu chi

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.3 field troop royal australian engineers, cpl bob bowtell, tunnel rats, royal australian engineers, 1rar battalion, booby traps, viet cong, australian task force

In the Vietnam War the 'tunnel rats' became famous. It all began on 'Operation Crimp' in January 1966 when US paratroopers and Australian infantry and engineers captured a Vietcong headquarters, in an extensive network of tunnels, some going down to four or more levels, containing munitions and 100,000 documents. 1961-1975- regimental histories - australian, operation crimp, vietcong, 1st battalion, the royal australian regiment

The Tunnels of Cu chi is the hitherto untold story of an extraordinary campaign in the Vietnam war, a campaign fought with cunning and savagery between Viet Cong guerrillas and special teams of US infantrymen and labyrinth of underground tunnels and secret chambers that the Viet Cong had dug around Saigon.guerrillas - vietnam - cu chi, vietnam war, 1961-1975 - vietnam - cu chi
