Description
The Infantry Centre at the Australian headquarters at Phnom Penh, known to the Cambodians as 'Pteah Australii'. An unidentified United Nations (UN) peacekeeper walks past UN, Australian and New Zealand flags displayed on a centre pole. To the left is a UN Landrover vehicle and three more UN utility vehicles are parked beside the building to the right. 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.
