Description

During Phase 2 of Operation Bondi I, adults and children from the hamlet of Duc My wait in the shade of a tree as their fellow villagers have their identities checked by members of 1st Division Intelligence Unit beneath the residence of the manager of the French-owned Binh Ba rubber plantation. The entire populace of Duc My has been moved to the screening area, most of them on foot, after 5RAR conducted a cordon and search of the hamlet. The villagers are employees of the plantation.
