Description

The Truce was signed last night and in the early sunrise in Korea these unidentified fighting men of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), are silhouetted against the sky as they look towards Communist held hills. They were observing Chinese recovering hundreds of their dead killed in an abortive last minute attack on the Australian position.
