Description

An Australian soldier is shown a sign pointing in the direction of an enemy mine. The sign was found by two Bushman Scouts on a track that an Australian patrol was about to use. One tracker (right) is holding an M16 machine gun and the other tracker (centre) is holding a 40mm M79 grenade launcher.
