Tip of the Spear

Description
Currently residing in Adelaide with his wife, Kerry has been interested in all things military since his teenage years. At 17, he joined the Citizen Military Force and after a short time enlisted in the Australian Regular Army 1963, undergoing a 12-month Tour of Vietnam in 1965. Kerry applied to join the Special Air Service and, after completing the tough Cadre Course and other specialist courses, he was accepted into 2SAS Squadron. In early 1968, the Squadron was deployed to Vietnam on Kerry's second 12-month tour. The SAS led very successful covert operations. Some satisfying, others terrifying. These patrols ranged from a duration of minutes to seven days depending on the enemy activity. The Viet Cong called them Ma Rung, "Phantoms of the Jungle", and put a price on their heads: $5,000-dead or alive. Tip of the Spear is split into two parts. The first is a memoir of Kerry's experience with patrols in the SAS as a forward scout. The second is three light-hearted fictional short stories.
