5 perusal. As usual, it’s very good about the gin joint and Humphrey Bogart. Probably obvious from the snaps that we both are having a wonderful time. Amazing place and people very friendly. An enterprising young man could make a fortune over here from selling toilet paper – Bindi and I have had the runs constantly. Guess it goes with the territory. Anyway will let you get back to your brecky as we are about to have ours. Keep good and see you soon. Drabs To a sleazy old "Gin Joint" he slid. But "Bindi" turned up as he did. To help save his arse, He raised up his glass, And said "Here's looking at you kid". From Peter Gibson (Back in May 2012) Peter, Hi, you won’t remember me but I took the photo that Ken Wylie sent to you recently. My name is Peter Gibson I was a lance jack and part of the 12Fd Regt HQ Bty advance party in Feb 71. You trained me in Arty Tac on our arrival. I took this photo a few days before you guys RTA'd . I do believe you were all giving us the v sign and saying "no one has 360 days to go". As it turned out we didn’t do our 360 days as they brought us home early. You guys treated us ok and trained us well so thanks for that. Yes you can use the photo and it was a chance meeting in Melbourne this year on ANZAC day that i met Ken as we discussed the posting at Arty Tac and Baria. Small world. Hope life has been good to you. I have attached a photo of myself in Arty Tac, (Sorry Pete, lost it but here is another one) if you don’t remember me you'd have to remember the piss weak attempt at growing a moustache.
