Description

As any Vietnamese veteran will tell you, a hobby helps to make your tour pass more quickly. It so happens that gardening is Warrant Officer 1 (WO1) Bert Addington's hobby, and that's the birth of a vegetable garden. He is seen with WO1 Bill Eade, left; one of the rare ocasions when two men of the Provost Corps, Australian Army Training Team in Vietnam (AATTV) are together. WO1 Addington is based at Phu Thu, in northern South Vietnam, and WO1 Eade is now based out of Da Nang, further south in Military Region 1. It's also another cop for ARMYCAMERA in the hands of Sergeant Mike Jones.
