Description

An unidentified Australian officer, wearing lightweight poplin overalls, scans the area ahead with his binoculars from the top of a damaged building near the town of Long Dien. The gun shield and barrel of a .50 calibre M2 HB Browning heavy machine gun are visible (left) which are fitted to an M113A1 Armoured Personnel Carrier. Judging by the four antennas, this vehicle could be a troop leader vehicle.
