FSB Balmoral

On my website I have started writing my own story of the battle at Fire Support Base Balmoral in May 1968, as I remember it. This is not only the story of the battle itself, but also the long term effect it has had on my subsequent life.

There will be parts of this story that will be news even to my closest friends and family members, because I have only ever spoken about them to a handful of people, most of whom are counsellors at the Vietnam Veterans Counselling Service. The prospect of putting these things out there for the world to read fills me with dread, but it has to be done if I am to be able to get on with my life story.
