Description
Korea, c. 1950-12. Carrying their weapons and packs, soldiers of the 27th British Commonwealth Infantry Brigade trudge in single file along a muddy road through snow-covered terrain in the depths of winter. The first four soldiers in the line may be members of the 1st Battalion, The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, while the rest appear to be members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR). Lying alongside the road at left is a stack of wooden beams or railway sleepers, while behind them stand a box of weapons, some jeeps, a military truck and a tent or hoochie pitched in the snow.
