49240 Gough, Was To Assault The North End Of Casino But Due To The Fire Power And Bunker System We Were Unable To Progress That Day. There Were Numerous Hunter Strikes And An Extremely Brave Lynx Pilot Overhead That Afternoon. We Saw The Lynx Dive Down Towards The North End Of Casino To Be Met By A Barrage Of Aa Guns 14∙5 12∙7 And Some 20Mm Type Weapons And He Was Lucky Not To Be Hit. Chris And My Troop Assaulted The North End The Following Day. There Was No Resistance But Progress Was Slow Because Of Bunker Clearing And Possible Booby Traps. We Finally Arrived At The Top Of Casino At About Midday And Proceeded To Clear The Area. There Were Plus/Minus 20 Dead Gooks As A Result Of The Air Strikes But Most Had Fled During The Night. After Clearing The North End We Went To The South End. Ted Mann Who Was The Radio Operator For Chris Was Standing In The Vicinity Of Another Scout Who Was Using An Unexploded 30Mm Hunter Canon Shell As A Hammer In An Attempt To Clear A Jammed Ar. The Shell Exploded And Blew The Hands Off The Troopie And Shrapnel Hit Various People Including Myself. Sadly Ted Was Hit In The Chest And Despite The Fact That The Rli Doctor Dr Mills Was On Hand And On Site Within 10 Minutes Ted Died. We Moved Back To The North End For The Night. We Heard Shells Being Fired Over Our Position And Wrongly Assumed The Artillery Were Shelling Some Position Until We Were Informed By Radio That It Was Probably A Tank. Later The Following Day We Left The Area And Moved Back To The Honde Valley And This Was The Period When The Hunter And Canberra Were Shot Down.” Marunga J.
