Description

A party of RAAF men from Vung Tau were invited to visit a Buddhist temple after some of them had shown an interest in the huge white figure of Buddha which dominates a hill near the town. Because of the local rule that all RAAF men must be armed, or be accompanied by other armed men, an assortment of uniforms and civilian clothes, arms and cameras were seen at the temple. 219846 Leading Aircraftman John William McDougall, engine fitter of Revesby, NSW, listens as a Vietnamese soldier acting as a guide, explains the meaning of the decorative urn and inscription at the foot of the huge Buddha at the temple.
