Herbert Snell He was one of the first group to go to Vietnam as a training officer. I recall he was a member of the Blue Mountains Vietnam Vets group that used to meet at Springwood. He had a few friends from that group would call and see him at Penrith I was the charge room supervisor and he was working in the cell complex I am also a ex RAN so we had a few discussions about service life. Hope that helps you
Bruce was working on traffic at Petersham in 1964 I think he transferred to Wingham from there.
Thanks George,
