Description

Members of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), who have been carrying out a strenuous period of training a few miles behind the front have completely integrated with the Korean Augmentation Troops, Commonwealth (KATCOMs) attached to them. These KATCOMs, of whom there are about 100 in the battalion, have quickly adapted themselves to the Australians' methods and weapons. Here Private Lee Kyoo Bong gets a 2 inch mortar less from Private Ray Garwood of Perth, WA, at D Company.
