Description

Baria, South Vietnam. June 1971. Company Sergeant Major (CSM) John Riters is surrounded by Vietnamese children as he unpacks toys which arrived as part of a gift from the staff and customers of a large Sydney store. The children at the Baria Orphanage rarely see toys because of the shortage of funds at the orphanage. The toys and clothes were donated after CSM Riters had written to his mother mentioning the shortage.
