FOD/71/0565/VN Accession Number: FOD/71/0565/VN

Description

Sniffing out his new surroundings, Milo is escorted by his new master, Mr J. R. Cochrane, the assistant manager of the Chartered Bank in Saigon (left), a Vietnamese woman neighbour, and Private David Cree of Wollongong, NSW, his former handler. Milo was previously a tracker dog with 4RAR /NZ (ANZAC) (The ANZAC Battalion comprising 4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and a component from the 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment), and was brought to Saigon to be given to Mr Cochrane by his handler, Private David Cree of Wollongong, NSW (right). Suitable homes have been found for all tracker dogs used in Vietnam, as quarantine regulations prevent their return to Australia.
