The Digger and the ARVN soldier, a photo from Western Australia, West

Photographer's Note

Australia and South Vietnam once fought together for nearly a decade during the Vietnam War, over 500 Australians did not come home, and over 2 million from the South perished. The RSL veterans are proud of their service in Vietnam, and the Vietnamese Communities around the world will forever honour their sacrifices and achievements in a strange and foreign land.

Nearly 40 years later the friendship and alliance is still remembered fondly and preserved in this life-like monument of the 2 soldiers side by side, looking over Kings Park in Perth.

Lest We Forget.

Yo Jackie,

This is a nice sentimental photo. I like the sepia colour as I think it blends the background with the subject nicely. The shadow's over the soldiers face create a mystic, good work in bright sun light.

Cheers
