Despite the horrors of fighting in the Vietnam War, Grant Coultman-Smith and his fellow soldiers were unprepared for the reception when they returned to Australia. Rejected by the people, the Returned Services League and even the Government, Grant and his colleagues found comfort and support in each other as they fought the psychological effects of war and achieving greater recognition for their service in the community.
