Description
A local caretaker of the Long Tan Memorial observes as an Australian staff member from UNTAC repaints one of the original memorial's chain-posts. The original Long Tan cross was erected by 6RAR/NZ (ANZAC) in a ceremony held on 18 August 1969. It was removed to the Dong Nai Museum in Bien Hoa in 1988, and a replica erected at the battle site. Note the recent deforestation of the rubber plantation.
