Description

Outside the theatre and lecture room at the Australian headquarters at Phnom Penh, known to the Cambodians as 'Pteah Australii', tables and chairs with large, colourful umbrellas have been set up to take advantage of the breeze. This building houses the Chaplain, the Red Shield Defence Services (Salvation Army) 'Hop-In', the pay staff and the post office, it is also where the Sunday chapel services are held. From April 1992 the Australian Force Communications Unit (FCU) contingent of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), were based in Phnom Penh. Smaller contingents were scattered throughout Cambodia as communications support for all the other UNTAC military contingents, having established a communications network throughout Cambodia where none previously existed. The FCU was drawn from 75 different military units from within Australia and New Zealand.
