Warrant Officer Terence Clark enlisted in RAAF 22Jun1954 at Sydney, NSW and after initial training at Richmond Air Base, NSW was posted to Amberley RAAF Station, Queensland. After 14 months service in Australia he was posted overseas to No.1 Bomber Sqn which was engaged in anti-terrorist operations in Malaya. After two years at Tengah Base he was posted back to Richmond. When the Vietnam War started, WOFF T. Clark was posted to Utapao and Sattahip where a party of 20 men were instructed to perform a special operation vital to shortening the war. He was a member of the designated Snow Gum Force operating in Thailand between 9Feb-22Mar1968. Unfortunately this service did not qualify for the Vietnam Medal which required service inside Vietnam. WOFF Clark discharged from RAAF on 21Jun1976 after 22 years of superior service.
