"When you blokes left the compound we had a company (I think) of infantry from 7 RAR for a few weeks and when they left for OZ we had a company from 2 RAR as they replaced 7 RAR. It was a bit scary when they went on ops as there were only about 30 blokes in the compound and I always had my rifle cocked when walking down to the LP. We did have an incursion when 7 RAR were in the compound, probably recon of the base since the guns had gone.

Sometime in July the compound was given to the ARVN and so we moved out the infantry back to their normal lines and we (31D) were deployed to other areas of the task force base until I departed in September 68.
