Description
Nui Dat, South Vietnam. August 1970. Felling the tall jungle trees and clearing the thick scrub of Phuoc Tuy Province during land clearing operations, to deny the Viet Cong his natural haunt, makes heavy demands on bulldozers. Members of 17th Construction Squadron Group Workshops repair the final drive on a damaged D8 bulldozer at their base. Left to right: Craftsman (Cfn) Norm Ridgeway of Cottlesloe, WA, Cfn Bruce Nunn of Ipswich, Qld; Cfn Don Hughes of Albany Creek, Qld.
