As one of the first Australian dog handlers, he wrote of his experiences with tracking dog Caesar in the book ‘Trackers: The Untold Story of the Australian Dogs of War’ (New Holland, 2000) and later co-wrote ‘Crossfire: An Australian Reconnaissance Unit in Vietnam’ and ‘Flashback: Echoes from a Hard War’ with fellow Vietnam Veteran Robert Kearney. After two years as a dog trainer with the Army’s Tracking Unit in Sydney, Peter served in a second tour in Vietnam as an infantry section commander with 3rd Battalion in 1971. He left the Army in 1972 and became a journalist with the Adelaide Sunday Mail.
