Description
A firing party from the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), pays a final tribute to seven Australian soldiers killed in the Korean War, who are being reburied in the United Nations Military Cemetery at Pusan, Korea. The seven bodies were handed over by the Communists (North Koreans) under an exchange of war dead scheme known as Operation Glory. The soldiers are being reburied with full military honours alongside other Australians who died during the Korean fighting.
