Description

Members of the Australian civilian surgical team heading out on a Sunday morning for shooting practice at a rifle range in Thot Not. They undertook this practice in case the need arose for them to defend themselves. More than 450 civilian medical and surgical staff volunteered to work in hospitals in Vietnam to instruct and teach Vietnamese medical and paramedical personnel and provide medical aid to everyone who required it.
