Message: I’ve been trying to track down exactly where the Final Exercise was held before graduation near Colo on the Putty Road for Class 1/71.
I do recall leaving the Putty Road and crossing a river where we had a ‘Contact Front’ with some RAAF guys as a mock ambush of Vietcong but can’t seem to find any miliary areas where that may have been. Does anyone have a map reference or something that would indicate where that was. The country had thick bush around it and the first night out was on a large, grassed area on the other side of a river. We then hiked into fairly rough hill country. Any suggestions of maps would be helpful. Thanks.
