Thread: Hunting, painting, and a spot of perving.

@tac a1 no problems...I was in 161 Battery, NZ Artillery.
Spent 6 months with the Battery (Battery Surveyor), and 6 months with an Aussie Regiment (6RAR...I think)...out in the bush with the FPO party.
The Oz infantry guys were a good bunch to work with.
Yes, my father served in Egypt, Greece, etc. He may have known your grandfather!

Yeah, he probably would have. Grand Pa got sent home not long after Crete was recovered by the allies.

I used to work with a guy from 161 battery. He was from Waihi. I cant remember his name atm. It will come to me.
