An unidentified member of the Australian Army, probably 5th/7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (5/7RAR) spraying local Timorese children with a water hose attached to a water tank on the back of a UNIMOG truck, with the registration number 38 329. Behind the UNIMOG truck is the Sallyman vehicle, a model 130 Defender series Land Rover, with the registration number of 086 DQI, and was operated by members of the Everyman's Welfare Service (EWS) and the Red Shield Defence Services (RSDS), part of the Salvation Army, and was fitted out to hold hot and cold drinks, food including biscuits, chocolate, chewing gum and lollies, as well as greeting cards, writing pads, pens and envelopes. This particular vehicle had been in East Timor from 1999 and provided support in the form of spirituality, food and drinks and stationery to Australian Defence Personnel, international members of the various peacekeeping forces, and East Timorese locals. There is another Australian soldier watching in the background. He is wearing a blue cap, indicating that they are members of the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) to which Australia contributed approximately 440 military and civilian personnel, known as Operation Citadel.
