Known as a bit of a sook because of his dislike of water, Marcian the black Labrador tracker dog looks very unhappy as his handler, 219905 Private David Robert Nelson, 4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment - New Zealand (ANZAC) (4RAR), carries him across a fast flowing stream. Despite not liking water, Marcian was highly rated as a very fast dog, obedient and proficient at keeping a track scent. Marcian was retired from 4RAR in November 1971 and was adopted by the Consul General at the British Embassy in Saigon.
