Eyes & Ears - Vol 11 No 1 January 2018 - No114

It’s 50 years since the Tet Offensive began…

30th January, 1968... 

…the memory still remains.

 

We kick off with 50 years since the Tet Offensive, “Insights and Recollections” from Phil Mulgrew, then back into “Unknowns”, “Oddities”, then the “mail” section in 2 phases is humungous to say the least – its’ so good to hear from so many of you.

 

There’s a couple of important items on the “Notice Board”, then we’re into the Association area, plus we finally have two Locators in Vale, which does require some time for reflection.

Well, we're into 2018 and it's a pretty full edition. The New Year's resolution seems to be working and the mail has been great – let's keep it up?
