The above photo is of 3Pl W3 with a Centurion tank, taken in September 1970 during land clearing operations.  The link to the photo and story is http://www.w3vietnam.org.nz/timeline11.htm and the photo was provided by Pte Neil Ure seen sitting on the right on the tank.  Pte Ure later moved to V5 Coy when W3 returned to 1RNZIR.
