13 Official Reception for Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC instructional team at Waja SLSC, Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977
13 Official Reception for Palm Beach (Qld) SLSC instructional team at Waja SLSC, Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia. September 1977.
The man to Gil Graham's right was the interpreter of Gil's speech. First Gil spoke, and when finished he sat. The interpreter then translated the entire speech to the audience. The speech was well received, with even a flicker of approval on the general's faces. My Indonesian may have been poor but I understood enough to know that the man was not translating Gil's speech, but had delivered the speech that he thought Gil should have made. I turned to Gil and in a whisper congratulated him on his eloquence. Gil, who understood that his words were being very loosely paraphrased, fought hard not to laugh.
