Description

At the platform of the flying fox, an unidentified wounded soldier of D Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), is being strapped into position before being sent down the flying fox to the Company Headquarters where the most serious cases are evacuated to waiting ambulance jeeps at the bottom of the hill. From there they are sent on to the Battalion Regimental Aid Post (RAP), and receive attention from the Medical Officer. Those less serious are carried through the connecting trench to the waiting jeeps on the other side of the hill.
