Description

Hiro, Japan, 1950-09. A jet of flame shoots out from a flamethrower which a member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), is testing at a firing range. Another soldier looks on at right. The men are practising the use of the weapon in preparation for 3RAR's imminent move to Korea from BCOF. (Donor I. Robertson)
