Vaccination certificates

Booklet of vaccination certificates issued to Geoffrey Barnes by the army prior to his posting to Vietnam. The course of vaccinations began in 1967 before he left for Vietnam and continued soon after his arrival there. Geoffrey Barnes' unit was originally called 8 Field Ambulance but later became the 1st Australian Field Hospital. Geoffrey Barnes had refresher courses of vaccinations in Darwin in 1969 before departing Australia for a trip to Europe, and again in 1970 and 1971 while on his overland trip and before returning to Australia.

Geoff Barnes served as a National Serviceman in the Vietnam War, after being conscripted in the 'lottery' system. Basic training was at Puckapunyal, following which he joined the Medical Corps, working with the 8 Field Ambulance in Vietnam (as a medical orderly, and then in the laboratory). After his return from Vietnam he taught in Darwin for 12 months before resigning and travelling overseas for two years, after which he returned to Australia where he has done a variety of jobs.
