Description

A wounded Australian machine gunner is lowered from a wrecked bridge on the Taeryong River in the Pakchon area of North Korea, as the United Nations keep up their steady advance against the retreating North Koreans. Improvised scaling ladders and lines are being used to lower the wounded man to where a jeep ambulance can take him to a dressing station. The soldiers are from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR).
