 Neil Ashworth: Kick the Moon

The day that man first landed on the moon, an Australian patrol in Vietnam was devastated by a landmine explosion. The incident was made famous by the Redgum song “I was only 19”. This is an eyewitness account of what really happened that day and how, for one soldier David Sturmer, that detonation echoed over the next forty years.

This program contains graphic descriptions of combat scenes.  Neil Ashworth|Kick the Moon|images/stories/Audiolab/audio/Kick-the-moon.mp3
