Description

2400673 Private P Bowd of Campsie, NSW, and Lieutenant John Burns of St Kilda, Vic, have an early morning shave in Korea. In the background can be seen an entrance to a sandbagged dugout in the hillside where the men keep away from enemy strafing of guns and mortars, and in which they exercise all sorts of ingenuity to keep warm during the bitter winter months. Both men are with the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR).
