Description
North Korea. c. October 1950. Australian Assault Pioneers with the United Nations Forces rush decking over a wrecked railway bridge to give advancing troops a firm foothold for a rush to the opposite bank in a North Korean sector. Note the .303 rifles slung over their shoulders. Australians have always a wary eye for snipers - but have proved their own superior skill as marksmen.
