Collection related to 2784336 Signalman Stuart Lindsay Weller, 104 Signal Squadron, and his service in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968.

Informal portrait of 5714255 Signalman Alan Munro Booker. One of 477 colour 35mm transparencies taken or collected by 2784336 Signalman (Sig) Stuart Lindsay Weller, 104 Signal Squadron, relating to his service in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968. Sig Weller writes of Sig Booker: "[He was] one of the four men in our tent and a National Serviceman like me. The four of us in the tent worked in the Signal Centre as keyboard operators and so were on shiftwork ... it was taken in the afternoon and Alan had just woken up after a dogwatch shift. I never quite understood the purple coloured metallic screen behind him (and where he got it from I have no idea) but I think it was to cover the fact he had never really finished his part of the tent’s sandbag wall. It was supposed to be three feet high (i.e. high enough for you to be on your bed and still be protected from the blast of a mortar that landed nearby) but this photo seems to show Alan’s wall never really made that height."
