'Dogs of War' We are the War Dog Team and This is Our Story presented by George Hulse

Our Guest Speaker is LtCol George Hulse RAE (Retd) who commanded the Army Engineer dog wing in the early 1970s. He is the Vice-President of the Australian Defence Force Trackers and War Dogs Association and President of the Toowong RSL sub/branch.
George Hulse is the author of this book which gives rare insights into what it is like to be a military working dog handler in both the Australian Army and the Royal Australian Air Force. Taken from first-hand accounts of war in difficult places, this book reveals what it’s like to be in a fight for your life and your best mate in that fight is a dog.
TDHS will hold its Xmas lunch after the guest speaker presentation. You are invited to stay and join the members. Cost $20.00. If desired, you can partake of a quick BYO tea and coffee when you arrive at 10.30am. Bring enough hot water in your flask to enjoy a second cuppa with lunch.
