Description
Unidentified members of A Company, 5th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (5RAR), walk in two extended lines along a road running through a rubber plantation, as they head north from Nui Dat on an operational patrol. Note the striped hat band on their hats. This was red and worn by 5RAR to identify Australian soldiers from the Viet Cong who wore similar green hats.
