Description

Soldiers of B Company, 6th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (6RAR), loaded with gear arriving back at B Company lines after Operation Bribie. The morning after the action 6RAR conducted a sweep of the Bribie Battlefield but the enemy had vanished. After the battalion sweep, B Company, supported by APCs, patrolled across the "Light Green', about two kilometres to the east, and thought to be the enemy's likely withdrawal route. After an uneventful day the APCs carried B Company back to Nui Dat arriving late in the afternoon. Seven soldiers from 6RAR and one trooper from A Sqn 3 Cav Regt were killed in action and 27 wounded during the operation.
