Brief Description
Letter from Hardie Martin to his parents in Napier dated 2 March 1969.
Hardie writes about being moved close to Bien Hoa airbase, an incident with a spotter plane while out on patrol, heading to Singapore for 5 days rest and recuperation, being redeployed to another company, receiving parcels when on and off base, sending urgent news via teleprinter rather than telegram or mail and giving an example of delays, growing a moustache while on active operations and how dirty he gets while out on patrol.
