Description
Five members of the Australian Contingent to the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM) visit Grade 3/4 at the Queanbeyan East Primary School. The children of Grade 3/4 collected school materials to be distributed by the Australian Contingent to an orphanage school in Mogadishu. These contingent members visited the school to tell the children about their experiences during peacekeeping operations in Somalia and how the children's donations were used. The children of Grade 3/4, wearing blue United Nations caps and holding Navy 'show bags', presented to them as souvenirs by the contingent members, pose in this informal group photograph with their teacher Elizabeth Reddy. The contingent members standing in the back row are from left to right: Chief Petty Officer Kenny Barton RAN; Sergeant Neil Morgan RAAF; Chief Petty Officer Mike Apperley RAN; Warrant Officer 2 Denis Dunn Army and Petty Officer Mark Formston RAN.
