HMAS STUART - Greenies Division 1974

An unreal group of blokes these were - with names like, Mick Hardwick, Tractor Proctor, Blue Reidy, Swampy Marsh, Scotty McCallum, Dick Budzieney, Shorty Waterworth, Paul Smithers, Mick Roughan, Dutchy Andrews (Verhayen), just to name a few.

P.S. I am sure it was these blokes who were responsible for throwing all the Offiers hats over the side into the Sembawang basin early one fine Singapore Morning in October 1974. No one ever found out who it was but we all suspected, you could consider this a 'Group Mug Shot".
