Copyright: The AWM record for this photo states that the copyright status is 'clear'. As the photo was taken in 1967 it may not be clear of copyright, however, and 'fair dealing' status is claimed for the use of this image in articles relating to Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War.

AWM Caption: Members of 5 Platoon, B Company, 7th Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (7RAR), just north of the village of Phuoc Hai, beside the road leading to Dat Do. United States Army Iroquois helicopters are landing to take them back to Nui Dat after completion of Operation Ulmarra, the cordon and search by 7RAR of the village of Phuoc Hai. Operation Ulmarra was part of Operation Atherton, conducted by 2RAR/NZ (Anzac) (The Anzac Battalion comprising 2nd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR) and a component from the 1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment) and 7RAR. Left to right: Private (Pte) Peter Capp (kneeling); Pte Bob Fennell (crouching, facing camera); Corporal Bob Darcy (left of Fennell); Pte Neal Hasted (centre, front); Pte Ian Jury (centre, back, holding rifle); Pte Colin Barnett (front, right); Lance Corporal Stan Whitford (left of Barnett); helicopter marker at right is Pte John Raymond Gould. The United States Army Iroquois UH-1D helicopter is operated by 2 Platoon, 162nd Assault Helicopter Company, 11th Combat Aviation Battalion. (Having achieved almost the status of an icon, this image was chosen for, and is etched on, the Vietnam memorial on Anzac parade, Canberra, ACT, dedicated in October 1992) (A black and white version of this image held as COL/67/0781/VN)

[edit] Fair dealing rationale

As noted in the photo's official caption on the AWM's photo database, this photo has "achieved almost the status of an icon". The 2006 Australian War Memorial publication 'Contact' (ISBN 0975190466 ) states that the photo "has become one of the cornerstone images in the Australian memory in the Vietnam War" (page 203). As a result, this photo is of very considerable historical importance and is important to illustrating articles on Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War.
