Description

Bronze sculpture of an Australian soldier in the Korean War. The sculpture was modelled on the likeness of Sergeant Ray Norman Parry, who won the Military Medal at Kapyong. The figure was developed as part of a submission by Kyle for the Kapyong diorama project in 2006. This is a bronze cast of the original paper pulp sculpture (ART93115).
