Default Movie

There was a home movie , filmed by a chap who was in the VDC , they were using a 1938 or 39 Ford truck , and a 2 pounder gun being towed by the Ford .

I cannot recall the exact details of where I saw the movie, but it has stuck in my memory .

Might be worth doing a search in the AWM archives ...home movies

A school teacher at Boronia Tech. was in the VDC at Queenscliff in Vic. , he was 15 and he told me they had a Lewis gun . The CO was ex WW1 officer, just like dads army he said !

He was sprung watching the ships come through the heads and hauled in front of a policeman ..they said he was a spy ! He was reading the morse lamps from the ships..his name was Jack Smith , easy to remember
