Description
Informal portrait of Janet Glasson, a nurse with an Australian civilian surgical team, firing an M16 gun at the rifle range at Thot Not. Members of the civilian surgical team undertook weapons training regularly in case the need to protect themselves arose. 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.
