Collection related to 2784336 Signalman Stuart Lindsay Weller, 104 Signal Squadron, and his service in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968.
A Vietnamese funeral procession snakes down a Saigon road. One of 477 colour 35mm transparencies taken or collected by 2784336 Signalman (Sig) Stuart Lindsay Weller, 104 Signal Squadron, relating to his service in Vietnam between 1967 and 1968. Sig Weller recalls: "During my 2 week stint of duty at the 110 Signal Squadron’s Communications Centre in the rear of the Free World Building, Saigon, I lived in The Canberra, Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) building that faced a main road. A sad reality of this location was the number of funerals that went past the building on their way to a nearby cemetery. Every funeral seemed to have a band of some description as a part of the cortège, so there was some warning that one was approaching the building."
