G'day Hrothgar,

Bugger me ... I think I just failed the retrospective mental!

It was 20, wasn't it ... I knew, as I typed in 18, that it didn't add up - that I had left Sydney for Tasmania just after hearing I wasn't in the birthday list for 1965, when I turned 20. Quite a few of my mates were called up - and some never came back.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
