Description
Private Vic (Bluey) Dey of Preston, Vic, strips and cleans his Owen gun in readiness for a 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), night patrol. The stoppage of a weapon when patrolling in enemy territory may mean death to a soldier or his mates so the cleanliness of a weapon is very important.
