'Vietnam. 1967–69. With the fire stoked and burning well in a Vietnamese house in flames behind him, Private Laurie Connor of Preston, Vic, takes a break to wipe his forehead. Earlier, during Operation Ainslie, 7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (7RAR), had assisted in moving families and their possessions to a new village close to the 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF) base at Nui Dat. Houses were burnt down to prevent their use by Viet Cong.' AWM COL/67/0820/VN
