During the Vietnam War a group of soldiers from the 2nd Royal Australian Regiment (2nd RAR) had the day before returned from a patrol. While resting they were asked to go outside the wire to see a helicopter power display. While watching three soldiers stopped to pose for a photo. Thirty seconds later a wayward missile from a helicopter would fall amongst them them killing three in total and severely wounding 14 others. A friendly photo within seconds turns to devastation. The three soldiers are Dennis (Dave) Enright, Harry Leggett and Stan Radomi. One soldiers words "Yeah it was a lovely sunny day at Nui Dat. We'll leave it at that! We can't change yesterday. I'm just another Nasho. In this video, Captain John Methven (Ret) shares Australian soldier experiences as a platoon commander and Regiment Signals Officer with the 2nd Battalion Royal Australian Regiment that was stationed at the Australian base at Nui Dat. John has dedicated his life to fighting for the recognition of Vietnam Veterans and assisting veterans dealing with PTSD and the impacts of agent orange.
