Thank you for remembering my uncle like this, it is so nice to know he had such good mates. While I was only a baby when he died, i've always felt his shadow in my life.

Here's to George a jovial mate all thourgh my army journey from Kapook (recruit training) to 9RAR and on to the Jungles of Vietnam and a devistating sad parting of our ways. A great bloke who's wicked Irish smile will always remain in my memory till I join him for a beer. Cheers mate!!!! Glen (Sig Alpha Coy 9RAR) P.S I have a photo of our platoon in Kapooka which I will get to you you as soon as I am back in Austalia.

George was a member of 5platoon and was a great guy. None of us who knew him will ever forget him. He had that wild Irish streak in him that set him apart from many others.

George was a very good mate of mine and we shared some great times prior to our embarkation to Vietnam with 9 RAR. He was fiercely proud of his Irish heritage, but also proud to be a soldier in the Australian Army. After 40 years I still think of him and the others who never made it back.

I did not know George Nagle but know his name appears on the Wall in Washington, and is recorded in a website www.irishonthewall.com.
A group from 9RAR went back to Vietnam in Nov. 2008 to be at Nui Dat on the 40th anniversary of our arrival there in 1968.

A wonderful work of dedication. I was in Vietnam in D co 1 RAR, 4th RAR/NZ and D company 9RAR from June 1969 to Dec 69. The battalion book is available on DVD from the NSW association. You can also acess the war diaries of all battalions at the Australian War Memorial site in their "COLLECTIONS" Regards Barney
