In a whirlwind visit last week, Australian troops in Vietnam were visited by the Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Daly. Arriving at Fire Support Base Julia, in Phuoc Tuy Province, Sir Thomas chatted informally with soldiers, asking them how operations were going, how they were finding their service in Vietnam, and, inevitably, wishing them a Merry Christmas. Later he was briefed on current operations by Australian Task Force Commander, Brigadier C. M. I. Pearson, and spoke with members of the staff. General Daly then took to the air again, and his next helicopter trip took him to Fire Support Base Avenger, where he met troops of 9th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment. General Daly also met troops of the 1st and 4th Battalions during his visit to Vietnam, which ended when he returned to Australia last Sunday, December 22.
