Description
Informal portrait of a Vietnamese interpreter, Miss Anh, who translated for members of an Australian civilian surgical team. She is with three young Vietnamese children known as the 'hospital urchins'. 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 anyone who required it.
