Description

A dummy detonating charge made of wood placed to the left of a land-mine during a training exercise. Australian sappers were attached to the Nations Training Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) and were posted to Mine Clearance Training Units (MCTU) to give courses in land mine identification, minefield marking and mine clearance to the local people.
