The Most Indestructible Soldier of Vietnam - Keith Payne

This is the story of Keith Payne, the most decorated soldier of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam, and the night that earned him the Victoria Cross. On May 24, 1969, in Kontum Province, Payne's Montagnard company was shattered by overwhelming NVA forces. Wounded and bleeding, he fought alone to hold the line. Then, when the battle seemed over, he went back—crawling through enemy-controlled jungle in total darkness for three hours to find his scattered soldiers. He located forty wounded men and led them to safety, only to discover his own battalion had withdrawn without him. Behind enemy lines, he guided them through the night and reached base at 3 AM. From Depression-era Queensland to Korea, Malaya, and Vietnam's deadliest ground, Payne embodied one unbreakable principle: no one left behind. This is his story.
