Description
A group of representatives from the Australian Force Communications Unit (FCU) carry the Australian flag at the head of a parade of athletes competing at the first ever UN Olympic games, an event held in Phnom Penh's 1963 Olympic Stadium on 17 January 1993. Organised by the Australian contingent, the games drew 600 participants from 18 countries. The group is standing next to the Bangladeshi contingent which contributed 942 personnel to the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) operation.
