Description
Nui Dat, South Vietnam. 6 November 1971. The final withdrawal of Australian troops from Nui Dat really went off with a bang for Private John O'Shaughnessy of Croydon Park, SA (left), and Private Mario Moltedo of Warradale, SA, both members of the Mortar Platoon, 4RAR /NZ (ANZAC) (The ANZAC Battalion comprising 4th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment and a component from the 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment). They were taking part in the last firing of 81mm mortars before extraction to Vung Tau on the coast.
