Description
Korea, c. 1950-12. Men and vehicles of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), attempt to make their way through a deep snowdrift in the Korean countryside. The soldier in the lead is 2/40101 Lieutenant James Hay-Archer ('Jim') Young, commander of 6 Platoon. A jeep (centre) is followed by a military truck which is carrying a group of 3RAR soldiers. The men, their breath condensing in the cold air, are rugged up in jackets, pile caps and hoods as protection against the winter cold.
