DI FAIRHEAD, ADF PHYSIO IN VIETNAM
Di Fairhead went to the Vietnam War as a physiotherapist in 1969, assisting the rehabilitation of injured Australian soldiers. She remembers her tour of duty not just for the peculiar challenges of the military hospital but also for the intense camaraderie amongst members of her team and amongst the men she treated.
