Description

Two M113A1 Fire Support Vehicle (FSVs) (left) passing an M113A1 Armoured Personnel Carrier (right) as they move south from fire support base Debbie. The lead FSV has the call sign four two Charlie (42C). Identified from left: 217990 Trooper Kenneth William Johnson and Possibly 6709821 Christopher John Blackwell, driving. It was not common practice for the FSV to carry passengers and these men would have been asked to please explain with regard to their dress and travelling arrangement. A day or so after this image was taken, some Australian Cavalry units were ambushed on this road.
