Summary: An unidentified Australian soldier sits and guards a Viet Cong suspect also seated in the grass, during a cordon and search operation, believed to be near the Rung Sat ('Jungle of death'). Three other Australian soldiers are waiting in the background. The Rung Sat is a vast tangle of waterways and mangrove swamps, between Vung Tau and Saigon, which has long been used by the Viet Cong to infiltrate food and supplies.
