Det 2 175th RRC Vietnam
Title: Nui Dat
I was at Bien Hoa in 1968 till early 1969. When Biller was killed in a convoy roadside bomb I went to nuidat as his replacement. Nui dat was in Ba Ria county outside of town several mileson the edge of a rubber tree plantation. It was home to the Aussies and New Zealanders. I left in Oct 1969 and went to bad aibling and pocking in Germany.
Several of us visited an orphanage as often as possible for a great diversion from our 05D20 jobs. Many trips where made to Vung tau for mail and Bien Hoa for supplies. Google Earth now shows a FREEWAY where the dirt road to Vung Tau used to be. There is no evidence of Nui Dat other that a huge rubber tree plantation.
Would like to hear from others.
