Warrant Officer Mick Dent, the Company Sergeant Major (CSM) of 'A' Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), stands near the sandbagged company Command Post on 'Cemetery Ridge'. This was a soldiers' nickname for a low ridge that ran in front of the dominating feature known as Hill 227 ('Fanny Hill') which was strongly held by Communist Chinese troops.
