A wounded North Vietnamese soldier lies on an improvised stretcher awaiting evacuation at Fire Support Base Balmoral

Summary edit

Description
English: A wounded North Vietnamese soldier lies on an improvised stretcher of branches lashed together at Fire Support Base (FSB) Balmoral in Bien Hoa Province, after a fierce battle on 28 May, 1968, between troops of the 3 Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), and an estimated two enemy battalions. Six North Vietnamese soldiers were captured after the action and at least forty eight were killed when they hit the Australian base with mortars and rockets and followed up with a ground attack. Note the helicopter in the background probably to evacuate the wounded.
