Description
A member of the Cambodian People's Armed Forces (CPAF) squatting inside a roped off danger area during a mine clearing exercise on a country road. Note the green Claymore anti-personnel charge (with white pyramid shaped markers either side) in the centre. Australian sappers attached to the United Nations Training Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) were posted to Mine Clearance Training Units (MCTU) and gave courses in land mine identification, minefield marking and mine clearance to the local people.
