Description
Portrait of 2784085 Signalman Colin James Wiley, 104 Signal Squadron, on his way out on an operation. Sig Wiley is laden with his full kit and carrying a rifle. 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: "Wiley was one of the four men in my tent and he was selected to 'go out on an operation' several times. If the operation was to be a big one and the Task Force Commander also went out, then a detachment from 104 Signal Squadron also went to provide radio and teleprinter communications back to Nui Dat and through us, Vung Tau, Saigon and Australia."
