Description

Caked with dust after returning from Operation Rollingstone in the back of a truck, Private Chris Newlyn of Greenacre, NSW, had his own idea of sheer pleasure when he arrived at the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR) camp at Bien Hoa. For the previous week any water he had in the Ben Cat hot-bowl was kept for drinking. Now he could get all he wanted and he smiled happily as he poured it over his head to cool off.
