Description
While people at home are sweltering in mid summer temperatures, Australian troops serving on the Korean truce line are in the depths of winter. 'Butch', one of the pets owned by soldiers of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), doesn't seem too happy about having to pose for the photographer on top of a pile of snow. Holding him is 28398 Private (Pte) Peter John Bridgeman, of Bondi, NSW, while 26494 Pte Ian Boyd Henderson, of Kirribilli, NSW, looks on.
