Description
Arriving on leave at Ebisu Camp, Tokyo, from the Korean truce line, Private (Pte) Ian Crawford (right), of Tarbert, Argyleshire, surveys the setup and shows a point of interest to an unidentified New Zealand friend, also on leave. Pte Crawford is serving with the 1st Camerons, and has a varied army life in Britain, Germany, and Korea since his National Service call-up. The men in the background are two unidentified Australian soldiers from the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), on the same leave draft. All are dressed in winter issue clothing for below freezing weather on arrival.
