"Well it seemed that we had to patrol for at least 1,000 hours to even make contact, and when I say contact that was merely to get a sighting of the enemy or to find perhaps a camp that he'd been occupying, and I must say a lot of the work was simply that, denying him places to operate. We would search out for camps or caches where he had hidden food and so on and it was by that means that we were trying to break down their contact with the villages and their ability to operate."
