I haven't read his story but it sounds as if John Grey may have. JG may have come to his conclusion as a result of 1735069 requesting a pogo job rather than patrolling, if that is what happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203110337754630589.post-60279041125522923572021-04-08T18:16:15.431+10:002021-04-08T18:16:15.431+10:00There was no front line in Vietnam, and the blogge...There was no front line in Vietnam, and the blogger was reposted partway through his tour as were many riflemen replacing Nashos who had finished their obligation before each battalion completed its tour.

There are people using uncommon names that can be said to be in common usage in his own family, an ex-digger, also appears. Now we have an anonymous "I served with this bloke" who could be anyone including the blogger, trying to deflect from the matter using the "leave the old digger alone" defence. The old anonymous witness is the same as no witness at all, sorry.<br />I am not JG.
