Phuoc Tuy Province, Vietnam. 18 February 1967. United States Iroquois helicopters (also known as `Hueys') land in the dry paddy field to extract the 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR) on the completion of Operation Bribie. Seven members of 6RAR killed and twenty six were wounded. During the battle, one of the Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) was destroyed by a direct hit from enemy recoilless rifle (RCL) fire killing the driver and wounding the commander. Unable to move it, the Australian set fire to it so that the Viet Cong could nat salvage any working parts. After leaving it overnight, the Australians returned to find `Du Me Uc Dai Loi' (roughly translated to `Australians get stuffed') painted on the APC in blood. (Donor P. McNamee)
