Description
Australian soldiers, probably of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR) in their front line positions, possibly near the Hook feature. Sandbag protected dugouts abound, and the fact that men are standing on the skyline, indicates the date is probably late July 1953 and just after the ceasefire. One of a series of photographs taken by the Australian Mr Douglas (Doug) Bushby in his capacity as a UN accredited War Correspondent. Mr Bushby devoted much of his time to relief and missionary work amongst Korean refugees, orphans and North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war.
