Description
A young Vietnamese boy keeps his distance from a large elephant at the Saigon Zoo, as would any child, seeing them for the first time. The boy, an orphan from St Elizabeth's Orphange in Saigon, was obviously quite content to let Warrant Officer Class 2 Ron Cox of Ingleburn, NSW, do the feeding. The outing was organised by RAAF and Army senior non-commissioned officers based in Saigon.
