Although the FSPB defences were incomplete and the command and control arrangements for the FSPB almost non-existent, the initiative and determination of individual soldiers augmented by massive accurate and timely fire support prevented what could have been a disaster for the Australians. A failure to carry out proper artillery procedures for a regimental deployment, the disruptions in the planned helicopter move, poor map reading and a poor appreciation of the area needed for the units destined to occupy the FSPB. The final layout of Coral was impossible to defend with the allocated infantry company although better use of that company could have been made. The lack of FSPB defence coordination and orders from Murtagh, the Local Defence Commander, both before and during the attack is perplexing. The authors of the Official History shed little light on these critical aspects of the battle of FSPB Coral. NB: Massive US artillery and air support including strikes by fighter bombers using napalm was instrumental in defeating the NVA assault. Lots of errors. Failure to pass along the enemy capabilities in full would cost lives. No grenades. Bad communication. Command was too confused. Murtagh not much chop.

Thank you guys for the insight, have to say good seminar. South African Air Force, currently in the UK There is hope.

Oddly enough, my 10 year old son found this whilst doing a school exercise and recognised the surname. He thought there was an outside chance it was a relative. Pretty darn close!!

Wow! Uncle Arthur!!

Balloons remind an Aussie film, Where, being seventeen, Les Hill Played very well the leader of A group of kids, who’d taken off In a balloon from Sydney, though They didn’t know where they would go… The wind swept them somewhere in sky For minutes once, they got so high That lack of oxygen could kill The poor children ‘cause Les Hill, Beth Buchanan and others lost Their consciousness, been killed by frost, The lack of air, with no hope… …but any problems humans cope With will for sure be soon resolved! The cooled balloon went down, thank God! Which saved these children’s lives as well! Was it their destiny?.. Who’d tell?.. From high above, they saw some land Where their air trip would have to end. The golden beach with coco palms: All South Pacific Ocean charms, Attracting tourists from the world, Now did not seem to be a pearl For passengers of this balloon!.. Because they understood how soon They could've crashed on trees or land But fortune favoured: happy end The journey finished safely soon The gases cooled and the balloon Descended smoothly on the beach The children screamed - the basket reached The ground of the blessed coast... Without knowing that the worst Will only wait for them in there… They need to lay their heads somewhere… A lovely bunch of city kids From a balloon now only needs To find some place to spend the night They know as well they’ll have to fight A lot of difficulties here Because they’ll get no help from near But where is they got stranded on? Why suddenly their trip went wrong? This place may be uncharted, so, No rescue missions ever go Four Robinsons began to think How they would find the saving link To contact their native land But each of them did understand That’s what is needed first of all To find a tree, not very tall, With room enough for building home, Some sort of rain-protecting dome, But out of what to make the walls? The real homes are not the dolls Or models we create from kits, So, children had to have the wits To use the basket from balloon To make the walls before the moon Must rise above their brand-new home What can protect it as its dome? It was decided that the shell Of ex-balloon can do it well! They hurried to switch off the light To get some sleep they said good night They feel so sure there’s no chase From anywhere but someone’s gaze Already was directed at Their secret hut. An ancient hat That’s hardly seen in neighbourhood Where in the day kids looked for food In early centuries was worn By people who have been a thorn In peaceful people’s side for long The fear that stroke their hearts was strong The PIRATES was that awful name! They robbed the ships and made them flame Without knowing any fear! The pirates owned this island here This hat belonged to one of them He hid in bushes there to stem Some possible invasion that Could get him rid not of the hat Or weapons but his only life So he was carrying his knife His musket and his pirate sword! But this man gave his honest word Not to attack some women, kids The only thing he really needs From these teenagers: who are they? Where are they from? And what’s the way They crossed the ocean to this land No one from any continent Could use the boat to get so far But having known where they are Observing in his telescope He thought the task he had to cope With could be left until the sun Can help much more to solve this pun

Wonderful actor

Congratulations to DVA and all who served in the War of Vietnam on the very moving service held in Canberra today to mark the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Coral and Balmoral during the Vietnam War. Is it possible for it to be televised on ABC or free to air Chanel’s to give more people the opportunity to share in this commemoration?
