Greetings from Australia.

My name is Wade Krawczyk and I am in my late (very late!) 50s. I was a television news cameraman, and was accredited as a military press correspondent in the 1980s. I saw a bit of two way range in Lebanon in the 1980s, and have filmed on many joint exercises with US, Australian and Allied forces. Everything from SF and Seals, to air to air refueling, aircraft carrier operations, marine beach assaults, and submarines.

I have also been a military historian and collector since the mid 1970s. I wrote five reference books on German uniforms but have now returned to studying and collecting Vietnam items. My specialities are SF (of course), Advisors, ARVN and vietnamese made berets.

At present I am lucky to own and are studying three 5th SFG groups. In case anyone has any information or knowledge of:

SFC Larry Mills (A-241 (Polei Kleng) from January, 1967 - June, 1968
dec 1971-dec 1972 Long Hai USARV training Fank

Major Robert Biddle B-32 Tay Ninh 1967 & district advisor Huong Hoa district 1971

Captain later major Simon Ecklund.
B-51 Dong Ba then Nah Trang 1964-64
1968-69 Phoenix program training centre Vung Tau.

I now work on motion pictures and television as a specialist researcher, props man & armourer. I tried to make as realistic as possible films like Hacksaw Ridge, Unbroken and the recent Australian Vietnam film 'Danger Close' the battle of Long Tan.

Thanks for your time.
