Description

Soldiers serving with the Force Communications Unit (FCU) of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) stand on the scoop of a bulldozer to erect electricity power lines, while other UNTAC soldiers guard the operation. FCU was responsible for providing telephone links between United Nations personnel in Seam Reap. At left, a colourful hoarding advertises "The Mine Field Beer Bar", an establishment run by expatriate New Zealander Graham Cleghorn. The bar was the main recreational centre for Australian soldiers serving at the local FCU signals base.
