Summary[edit]

Description
English: Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam. 18 February 1970. Sapper (Spr) Paul Scott of Beverley Hills, NSW, gives his M16 automatic rifle a thorough cleaning before B Company of 8th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (8RAR), moves in to check and destroy a Viet Cong (VC) bunker system in the Long Hai Mountains during Operation Hamersley. Spr Scott was an engineer attached to the unit for clearing mines and booby traps, and demolition of bunkers. The bunker system was uncovered by an air strike by B52 bomber aircraft on the mountains which were the scene of bitter fighting between the Australians and VC on 15 February 1970.
