What is amusing now had to be taken in desperate earnest once
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own, 1929

    Life was never dull during our tour in the Republic of South Vietnam. We all lived through a wide range of experiences. War of course is a deadly business, no more so than as an infantry soldier whose task was to "Seek Out, Close With and Kill the Enemy."
   There were lighter moments, and it has been said the Aussie Digger could find a joke in a cardiac arrest! The stories on this page are from members who would like to share their humourous experiences with you.
   I'm looking for more contributions, so if you served with 5RAR or were in support of the battalion I would like to hear from you.
