Description

Two army mechanics work on the engine of an Australian United Nations (UN) vehicle in Rwanda. The mechanics are serving with the Australian Medical Support Force in Rwanda helping to keep the fleet of UN vehicles on the road. 308 Australians with the medical force have been in the war-torn central African nation since August 1994 and are due to return home in February 1995 when they will be replaced by another group of Australians for a further six months.
