Allan Wood just got back from the UK, & caught-up with one Jim CAWSTON
a Pom who got caught-up in the draft & did his time in 4RAR Trackers, ('68-69), returning to the old Dart as soon as he got out in mid-'69, never to return here.

The photo above taken on 26 Oct.2003 may be of interest to other ex-4RAR trackers who remember Jimmy.
That's him on the left, me on the right.
