Just thought you might be interested to know that “The Moem beach wantok” is sergeant Paul Nohou and currently resides at Murray Bks and also my dad was the bandmaster of the 2PIR band that went for patrol to Milne bay 1973 he has that photo of the barge landing at the beach
Nice photos.
My first and still vivid memory of John Worthington was at Infantry Training (Singleton) when we acted as ‘Viet Cong’ for E Company and therefore were ‘killed’ about 3 times a day. We were soaked in a fierce storm one night which blew away most of our ‘hoochies’. However John wrapped in his non-army issue SPACE BLANKET was as dry as a bone while the rest of us froze!
Another memory is my wife Katie and I visiting Wewak on a Doug Rathbone charter and meeting up with John who was based at Moem Bks. I’ve got the ‘slides’ somewhere.
