Thank you, Ford. Thank you so much.
Your role in this hugely successful campaign is worthy of high acknowledgement alongside the others who took part in it. You were, after all, the 'forward scout.'
For the information of this community, the others in the photo are, left to right:
John England - who was involved in the same action during operation Goodwood in which Peter Chant lost his life, and has in more recent times been awarded the OAM for his service to veterans and his personal quest to reconcile the Australian and Turkish returned servicemen's communities;
Mick Mummery - who was a platoon commander in Charlie Company, 9th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (RAR) during the operation;
Laurie Lewis - who was our company commander in South Vietnam and an admirer of the management abilities of Peter Chant; Laurie retired from the Army as a brigadier, and remains our leader as patron of the 9RAR Association in SA and especially of the tight-knit Charlie Coy. 9RAR Association.
We are all wearing, in the photo, the WTFRW tie, on which the middle of the three feathers is Peter Chant.
Peter, mate... we'll see you back again next year.
