Description
Four unidentified armed United Nations (UN) peacekeepers stand at the corners of the recently unveiled Australian monument during the Remembrance Day proceedings at the Australian headquarters at Phnom Penh, known to the Cambodians as 'Pteah Australii'. 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.
