Tour of Duty ends

After leaving the French base, Stephen bunks up with James and Keno of the Royal Oxford Vegan Forces (ROVF) before the Dynamic Duo head on assignment to Spain where they joined Elizabeth and later Nick and Elena from the Italian battalion. On April 15th, the Ladies Turnbull leave their St Lucia bivouac and return to AthoTurnbull HQ battle weary but in one piece. Camp La Cachette is now under the command of Clan Dunlop and on April 16th Stephen catches a transport back to Australia and joins his fair bride on April 18th. This 2 month tour of duty is complete although there are rumours that Stephen may off on another UK campaign in May!
