A Sappers’ War

They were the forward scouts, the mine clearers, the bridge builders and the tunnel rats. They were frequently not just one the front line, but right at the sharp end of the action. They were legendary Aussie Sappers, the army engineers, who were literally everywhere in the fighting against the Vietcong. On the ground it was a battle of wits and the Sappers were at the forefront.

This is their story.
