Charlie Company, 3 RAR had settled into our ambush positions. Using techniques learnt from Enemy Camps, 8 Platoon made A frame stretchers; Boodgie Barrett from 7 Platoon made tables and chairs from split bamboo tied together with vines. 7 Platoon didn’t need the A Frames, because we used silk hammocks – which of course were outlawed by the Army.4 RAR/NZ had commenced their Operation Northward on 5 August 1971. With all the activity going on 4RAR/NZ concluded Operation Northward on 18 September 1971. They moved south from Duc Than towards Long Dien. Charlie Company were deployed along the Song Rai (river) to the west of Xuyen Moc ... to the left as you look at the map.
