Title: What soldiers do
Description: "These are the experiences of a young gunnery officer, Gordon Pound, who began his military career in the British Army before migrating with his family and transferring to the Australian Army." "A good deal of his soldiering occurred at the time of the Vietnam War and in 1965 he served in Vietnam with 105 Field Battery - the first Royal Australian Artillery unit to go to the conflict." "Reading his book gives a vivid picture of what the Australian Army was like in those now far-off days. Many dramatic and funny events occurred and this insight into a gunner's life fills a gap in the Australian experience of the Vietnam War."--Back cover.
