Description

Korea, c. 1950-10. Wearing hats, greatcoats and windproof jackets to keep themselves warm, members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), watch an open air concert given by the 1st Cavalry Division Band of the US Army. At rear, other battalion members (left) and Korean civilians (right) also watch the performance. Military trucks and the tents or hoochies of a camp stand in the background. Note that many of the musicians have kept their rifles slung over their shoulders. (Donor I. Robertson)
