Description

Depicts Afghanistan landscape with Australian patrol vehicle winding its way along the road, near Patrol Base Coyote (re-named Patrol Base Razaq). This camp was located on high ground east of the Helmand River. It was a joint ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) and ANA (Afghan National Army) patrol base. In the summer of 2010 the Australians based a paltoon at Patrol Base Coyote, to replace the Dutch combat forces and a small French mentoring team. Stephen Delaney (1954-) is a Canadian Army Reservist and his regiment is the Governor General's Foot Guards in Ottawa. He has completed two tours of Afghanistan; in 2006 and 2010. Delaney has also trained as an artist at the Ottowa School of Art and Emily Carr University in Canada.
