I am looking for the following people;

Jimmy Fay No. 1202416 Joined the army around the 13 January 1969 and went into 23 Platoon D Coy 1RTB at Kapooka went on to serve with 8RAR and was WIA on the 28 February 1970.

Anthony  Marshall 219147  joined around the same time in the same unit and was also WIA on the 28^th February 1970 while serving with 8RAR.

If you know these guys or their family contact me and I will pass on their details to the group of people from the same unit they went into when they joined the army in 1969

23 Platoon D Coy 1RTB 1969

4RAR 1969 – 1972

Vietnam 1971

The paragraph below was written by Klaus ‘Tank’ Scheuernmann President 8 RAR Association

Both these guys served in 1 Pl A Coy and were wounded in the mine incident on 28 Feb 70 in Long Hai Hills.  Jim Fay regimental number is 1202416.  Both these guys are on our looking for list and we have circulated their names and others in our newsletter without luck.  The sad truth is that the majority of the guys wounded in the mine blast had only marched into the platoon a couple of days prior to the incident, so they really hadn’t had a chance to bond with the Platoon.

1970 Marshall 219147  joined around the same time in the same unit and was also WIA on the 28^th February 1970 while serving with 8RAR.
