Looking for Photos of WO2 J.P. Hudson AATTV 71/72
Team members,
Any photos you have of Bluey Hudson, then
please forward to Nigel Johns on email: nigeljohns@optusnet.com.au
Dear Sir,
My father-in-law, John Phillip 'Blue' Hudson
served with the Team in 1971 to 72 or thereabouts. He was also in Vietnam
with C coy 1 RAR in 1965. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago. He had many
photos of his time in Vietnam that "disappeared". In the year before his
death he toured Australia and died during this tour in Mildura. Before
leaving he placed most of his possessions in storage and this is when we
believe the photos were stolen. I would like to ask any members of
the team that may have photos of Blue Hudson for copies. Scanned photos
are acceptable to us because I have access to a high quality printer. Thanking
the Team members in advance. It would greatly please my wife to have photos
of her father of whom she is very proud.
I have attached several photos of Blue that
we managed to locate. Bluey22 is a photo taken on his return from Vietnam
in 1972. Newspaper02 is a newspaper written about him on his first tour
in 1965.

Members: John Liner, Mike Force Det A-245 Dak Seang is writing a book and needs some Team members input. Ifyou can help contact John on email: jliner@harris.com
DearSir,
I am a former member of Detachment A-245, Dak Seang. I was at Dak Seang
for the April 1970 siege. I am currently writing a book on the battle,
and trying to re-create it as best as I can (given my somewhat fuzzy,
thirty year old memory). The Mike Force played a very large rolein
support of the camp during the siege. As I recall, there were Aussiesthat
participated. I believe they were members of the 1st Bn MSF.In fact,
I spoke with one briefly, one day, as the battalion passedby the
camp and headed across the airfield and to the north. He was droppingoff
some Yard WIA and we spoke for a few minutes. I heard later thatone of
the Australian Warrants was KIA sometime during the battle.Anyway,
I am trying to collect stories, anecdotes and info on theMike Force
participation in the siege. I am especially interested in thestories of
the AATTV. I
realize some of this maybe
a little traumatic to recall (it is for me); however, I would greatly
appreciate hearing from anyone that participated in the battle of Dak Seang.
I know it is thirty years late, but please accept my grateful thanks
for what you guys did for us. I would not be here now, typing this,
were it not for you. Thank you. John W. Liner, CW3, US Army, (retired).
