A day in the life of a Didiman. One of the 6 pens the soldiers helped make and a young boar (male pig) we purchased for our diet comparison program. Traditional village pig food versus high protein slops from the soldiers’ tables.
Working in the garden with some help.
What pigs do best
Soldiers running a chook enterprise after building the chook pens with watering points.
A better view of the substantial pens the soldiers made. We imported several thousand chickens in two batches from Brisbane and when soldiers had completed their army time they took chooks back to their villages to provide eggs and meat.
Patrolling the West Irian border. A physically hard time but a great time.
I was asked to draw the areas we patrolled and keep a record of new and deserted villages. I still have the “Field Message and Note Book”.
A page of my diary. An easy day compared with other days.
