Denis Gibbons (1937 – 2011)
Trained with the Australian Army, before travelling to Vietnam in January 1966, Denis stayed with the 1st Australian Task Force in Nui Dat working as a photographer. For almost five years Gibbons toured with nine Australian infantry battalions, posting compelling war images from within many combat zones before being flown out in late November 1970 after sustaining injuries. The images held within the National Vietnam Veterans Museum make up the Gibbons Collection.A black and white photograph of an American Hospital Orderly at 1st Air Cavalry Division Hospital, at Tuy Hoa, assists a Vietnamese boy in how to use crutches, needed after suffering a serious leg wound, caused by schrapnel from an artillery shell exploding close by his village home.photograph, 1st air cavalry division hospital, tuy hoa, gibbons collection catalogue, vietnamese children, american hospital orderly, wounded vietnamese children, denis gibbons
