Description
Vietnam. 1967. In a thick jungle patch near the Australian Task Force base, Private Kevin Borger of Sydney, NSW, a soldier of B Company, The Royal Australian Regiment (5RAR), had a fixed stare and was frightened to move a muscle when he was snapped by Army photographer Sergeant Mike Coleridge. The reason for the fixed stare was a deadly seven foot cobra just out of the camera angle.
