Hello From percy
G'day all from the HSB. I was just emailed the link to this site and its great to see some of the old faces from my time there. Well as you can guess I have discharged and its been 4yrs already and I am getting very very itchy feet to get back in. If I could get back in and get posted back to 1 HSB I think I would come back in. Yeh the money and that is all good out here, but the family & fun I left behind in the HSB..."Priceless.. Well I look forward to hearing from anyone. Stay safe Percy..

Great site with a lot of familiar (and a little older faces). I am posting this message to let you all know that the link to the 1 HSB Website is broken.
You need to go www.callsignvampire1hsb.com to view it.

Ex members
Nice to see that there are ex members of the unit placing articals on the web site.
But it would be nice if you could leave your names i.e WO2 dated 21 Apr 08, and Med Assist/ Theatre Tech (come on Barney or do we go for a drive along Heathcote road again).
Come all you Ex Members lets hear from and see you all again by joining the Association.And leave your names.
Theo.

Great to see a well compiled website dedicated to a RAAMC unit such as 1 Fd Hosp.Other Aust Army units should do the same. I served with 1 Fd Hosp from 1988 until 1991 and was able to see the merger between 1 Military Hosp and 1 Fd Hosp out at Ingleburn in Western Sydney. Had soo many great times whilst posted there and made many great friends.Im still serving in the Corps but have not been back to Sydney or 1 Fd since then. Would be good to here from some of you if you remember me from back then.

I had made any contact with unit members.
I will say fare well for now until we meet again

Ex 1 RAR
Just found your site, well put together.
I was one of the 784 malaria cases, 12th Oct to 24th Oct 1968, I think, I was a bit hazy when I came in on the chopper.
I have always wanted to know a bit more about the Malaria epedemic. I think mine stemmed from Operation Hawkesbury in September.

Hello all
I was posted to 1 Field Hospital from 1981 until I was posted in 1983/4. My teenage years were spent there with many great people,some now deceased.I quite clearly remember our victorious cricket team we had with many stars that went on in civilian life. I would love to catch up with former mates or soldiers that were posted to 1fd whilst I was there. They were the best years of my life. I now currently work for Qhealth and am the business manager of a music company. I can be contacted at
djrockdoctor@australiaonline.net.au. It is always good to remember the golden years regardless of what era you come from.
