Christmas dinner, Suai
Description
Three female Australian soldiers eating Christmas dinner in Suai, East Timor. 'Although many soldiers spent Christmas away from their families, they still managed to enjoy themselves, showering East Timorese children with lollies and gifts. One soldier told Sharpe: "I don't want my parents to know this, but this is the best Christmas I've ever had."' 'Sydney Morning Herald', 31 December 1999.
