Collection related to 2784336 Signalman Stuart Lindsay Weller, 104 Signal Squadron, and his service in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968. Accession Number: P12186.076

Description

A destroyed bridge on the road to Vung Tau. One of 477 colour 35mm transparencies taken or collected by 2784336 Signalman (Sig) Stuart Lindsay Weller, 104 Signal Squadron, relating to his service in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968. Sig Weller recalls: "There were a number of small channel bridges to be crossed en route and each had its own small police and army detachments to guard them. They searched each local Vietnamese vehicle and checked the documents of everybody who passed. The units were also provided with searchlights and guard towers from which they kept an eye on the bridge each night. We, however, weren't required to stop and barrelled right on by."
