I was on the patrol that brought in the bodies ofSgt. Keith Foranand Pte Ron Rackley. They had been killed by anti-personnelmines about 24 hours earlier, on a patrol that I was on.

I was doing my stint as stretcher bearer, then I was posted as rearguard on "tail end Charlie" with a Bren machine gun. Just on daybreak we were along side a mine field and I saw all these papersjust sitting in the mine field. I reached over the wire and grabbeda handful, but was not game to go inside the wire to get somemore. They were Chinese propaganda leaflets, aimed at enticingthe allied soldiers over so they could be taken prisoner or killed.
