Description
The heavy Vickers machine gun has been used in two worlds wars, but is still a favoured infantry weapon. Here unidentified members of a Vickers team of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), go into action during a competition shoot in Korea. The soldiers are competing against other units serving with the 1st Commonwealth Division, and are winning the competition easily.
