Description
A corporal of the Indonesian contingent to the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) on guard duty at a sandbagged position outside 'Pteah Australii', the Phnom Penh headquarters of the Australian Force Communications Unit (FCU) contingent to UNTAC. Wearing a UN issue blue flak jacket over his disruptive pattern camouflage, he is armed with Belgian made 5.56 mm FN-MINIMI light machine gun. Behind him on the balcony, three members of the Australian contingent look on. The Indonesian and Ghanaian Contingents were both deployed in a security capacity to the Phnom Penh Special Zone (PPSZ) for the duration of the electoral period, from October 1992 onwards.
