Description
Open topped 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) landrover with star-pickets welded to the forward frame as an anti-decapitation device. The Viet Cong would string barbed wire across roads at neck height and this proved a simple and effective solution. The landrover's doors have been removed for a quick exit in case of attack.
