Dear Fellow Vietnam Veterans

I was a Troop Commander with the Sappers in Vietnam, and remember time spent at ‘Coral’ and ‘Balmoral’. 50 years later I have been painting an ‘attack on Coral’ and an ‘attack on Balmoral’. I have also created a Video Animation of the first attack at Coral. These 3 items are part of my artwork package in the AWM’s Napier Waller Art Prize, and my Entry has achieved a ‘Highly Commended’. It is currently hanging with about 10 other ‘finalist’ entries at the AWM (Anzac Hall) in the 2019 NWAP Exhibition. There is also an Online Exhibition of the 26 Finalists in this years NWAP, which you can view and find my Coral-Balmoral artwork in, at

This is a Peoples’ Choice Exhibition which runs until mid-November. Be sure to view the Video Animation to gain the full impact of the artwork. The viewer can read the Artist Statement and, if inclined, vote for me in the box provided. I would be honoured to receive votes from veterans and their families.

I would dearly love to share this Link and details of my Entry with as many Vietnam Veterans as I can. In this regard, I thought of the possibility of getting this out to 1 RAR Association Veterans and families?

I would very much appreciate your help please.

Kind regards
