Group portrait or four National Servicemen recruits and room-mates in front of of the new three-storied brick accommodation blocks at Kapooka in which they lived while undergoing basic training. Identified, left to right: Stuart Weller; Henry Stefanik; Peter Webster and Bernie Thielemann. 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 recalls: "As a result of the new medical examination we were all required to undergo a week or so into our training, Henry Stefanik was found to have a hernia as well as lumps on his knees (the result of a childhood accident) and said he had been given two options: the army would arrange for the operations he needed and he could complete his National Service commitment when he was fit again; or he could take a discharge. Henry didn’t need to be told that option twice and he said he signed the discharge papers before the fellow had a chance to change his mind! He’d spent a day or so completing the paperwork and visited us before he left." Sig Weller is on the far left.
