Leaving the Lozenge Feature
Description
Australian infantrymen of 3 Battalion Royal Australian Regiment, Commonwealth Division, leaving a place known as 'The Lozenge feature', Jamestown Line area, Korea. They are carrying picks and shovels. The Lozenge is a hill on the south bank of the Imjin River. It was a very well-known fortified position in the Commonwealth sector of the United Nations front lines. The men are wearing British 1944-patterned water bottles. When they first went to Korea in 1950 they were issued with 1937-patterned equipment, but later their equipment was upgraded.
