Description

Three members of B Company, 2RAR/NZ, relax beside a road or on a Lambretta taxi or 'Lambro' after their company has completed a cordon and search of the village of Hoa Long as part of Operation Oakleigh. The soldiers are (left to right): unknown; 2785126 Private (Pte) Gregory Joseph Sattler; and 3411971 Pte Graeme Patrick Cummins. All residents of the village have been moved out to a Screening Centre, possibly visible in the background (right), where they are having their identities checked. The Lambretta vehicles, lined up on the road, have probably been used to transport old and sick residents of the village to the Screening Centre.
