Description
A basket, water bottle, mugs, small kitbag and other personal items are laid out on mats or groundsheets at an enemy camp and bunker system that was assaulted and captured by soldiers of 3 Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), during Operation Overlord. Standing at rear is a crude hut or shelter built of jungle timbers and roofed with a tarpaulin. The large and well-designed bunker system had previously been occupied by elements of 3 Battalion, 33 North Vietnamese Army (NVA) Regiment.
