Description

South Korea. The effigy of an ancient Korean king looks down on two unidentified soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), as they wait their turn for injections outside the waiting room of the 60th Indian Field Ambulance. The tomb, which is reputedly more than 300 years old, lies north of the Han River. Note the sign on the left with the words 'WAITING ROOM' and a red cross.
