Crofton, a Gallipoli and World War II veteran talks about his experiences in a national 1972 Anzac Day edition of 'Chequerboard' .

He discusses his reactions to his involvement in war, comments on his commitment to fighting (and how he feels now), the moral problems facing a soldier, the dehumanising effect of war and whether there is such a thing as a "just war".

The program is titled ‘…We Were Happy To Go…’.
