Description

Outdoors portrait of 54165 Warrant Officer 2nd Class (WO2) Bryan Rupert Dunne with two Vietnamese children. An extract from an accompanying note reads "...a friend of mine took the pic when we stopped for a lunch break, the kids suddenly appeared when I opened my 'C' ration pack. Like most Vienamese kids they were polite and well mannered not at all grasping or pushy."
WO2 Dunne served in the navy for 12 years, seeing service in Malaya and Korea, before joining the army as a photographer, for nine years service including Vietnam.
