I have been living/working here in Vietnam for the past 2 years and i'm seen as an American and treat me oddly but when I tell them I'm Australian their attitude changes to all smiles, especially the older Vietnamese.<br>Another great listen, i'm loving these stories, thank you War Whispers

Thank you for posting this good interview. He was a good story teller and was great to listen to his many experiences. Sadly I've discovered that Bernie passed away in 2013 but fortunately this video preserves a personal account of his service.

Although I was a choco, I managed to go to Canungra twice in in 1982, and then again and 1983 the first time was part of Melbourne University regiment, And the second time was part of Monash University regiment. I'm both occasions our course was three weeks. It's now called the land warfare Centre, rather than specifically Jungle training Centre.

It's sad to hear he passed. <br>Does anyone know if he has family/descendants? <br>I think my family are related to him and would be great to connect family dots.
