'The Part Time Digger' is a documentary on the 3rd Divisional Signals Regiment that I served in at South Melbourne. I reinlisted after a break of 5 years from the CMF. Serving for 3 years until I had to retire due to ill health.
At the last camp attended I was the driver/operator for Maj. Gen. Vicory, the GOC 3 Div. He had a movie camera and it started an interest of now over 30 years. After I had retired from the regiment, I asked to make this film and was given the OK.

This film is now available through the Australian War Memorial Film collection. File Number F00411
I believe there is a copy now in the Film Library of the Australian Defence Force Academy at Duntroon   ACT

It has a cast of over 400 diggers and explains the life of a CMF soldier in the sixties.
