Description
Troops from C Company, 7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (7RAR), unload a resupply RAAF Iroquois helicopter at their base near the village of Long Dien. The soldiers were patrolling in the area to protect Royal Australian Engineers from Viet Cong (VC) harrassment and sniper fire while they cleared an area around the village of thick undergrowth. The undergrowth had allowed VC to slip unnoticed into the village at night. (Black and white version held as COL/67/0764/VN)
