When the War is Over...

Australia is doing its best to tidy up all the loose ends of the Vietnam War which still exercise and distress people.  The remains of the crew of a Canberra bomber shot down near the Laotian border (but in Vietnam) 39 years ago have been located and are to be repatriated back to Australia.


But there are still some frayed ends: for example the civilian medical staff who served in field hospitals etc. alongside their enlisted mates but have never been classified as war veterans and so are not entitled to receive benefits.  I hope that their case is successful and that the Aussie spirit of a fair go prevails.
