Description
The Red Shield Defence Service's (Salvation Army) Landrover vehicle parked on a dirt road during a trip to Kampong Soam from Phnon Pen. The rear door of the vehicle is open and the vehicle is piled up with luggage, including a blue esky, a jar of biscuits, a video camera, camouflage field packs and rifles. From April 1992 the Australian Force Communications Unit (FCU) contingent of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), were based in Phnom Penh. Smaller contingents were scattered throughout Cambodia as communications support for all the other UNTAC military contingents, having established a communications network throughout Cambodia where none previously existed. The FCU was drawn from 75 different military units from within Australia and New Zealand.
