A Friday Duty Officer Shift Like No Other

Posted on July 29, 2016May 19, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

On 12 June 1998, just a couple of days before my 24th birthday, I had the misfortune of being the duty officer at the 1st Infantry Battalion at Lavarack Barracks in Townsville.

Posted on July 17, 2016May 22, 2020 by Clayton Wehner

German Words in the English Language

I’m a bit of a fan of linguistics, the study of words, and the nuances of language. At school, I learnt German; at uni, I did an English sub-major; and in the Army, I studied Bahasa Indonesia. The other day I wrote a blog post about the German word Gemütlichkeit, and it got me thinking…
