Description
With a map spread out in front of them on the bonnet of a landrover, a Troop Commander from B Squadron, 3 Cavalry Regiment (second from right), makes a point to the Commanding Officer of the 5th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (5RAR), 235030 Lieutenant Colonel Colin Nicholas Khan (left). Between them in sunglasses is the Duc Thanh District Chief, Major Tram Van Ngo, while another Australian soldier looks on (extreme right). The conversation is taking place during a cordon-and-search of Binh Ba village by 5RAR as part of Operation Bondi I.
