October 2008 Reunion in Albury, New South Whales, Australia
        In October, 2008 Rick Kreidler traveled down under to attend the reunion of the unit and meet the surviving members of a five man MP squad of the Australian Forces Army Provost Unit, Vung Tau, that served TDY with B Company in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, January-February 1968. Rick described the group as great hosts who showed him the greatest hospitality. Of the original group one has since passed from our ranks and two of the four surviving members were present. These are some photographs of the reunion and the Australian MP (Provost) Corps Museum.
