Description

Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam. March 1971. Australian soldiers played an important role in getting a badly injured Vietnamese woman to hospital after she had been knocked down by a hit and run driver near Baria, the capital of Phuoc Tuy Province. The woman, who sustained a broken leg, was made as comfortable as possible until a Vietnamese medic had administered drugs before she was taken to the Baria hospital. After helping the woman into a Landrover, Warrant Officer Class 2 Vic Allen of Woodside, SA, a member of 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), held a hat over the injured woman's face to protect her from the sun.
