Informal portrait of an unidentified Australian soldier standing with his Number 5, Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE), jungle carbine at the ready, guarding his mates from 7 Platoon, C Company, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), who are splashing and relaxing as they take a break from the jungle heat in a cool stream near Jalan Tinggi in Perak. Even though the men are relaxing, guards have been posted on either side of the stream, and all the men have travelled with their weapons as the area is classified 'black' and is known to have Communist terrorists in the surrounding jungle. These soldiers have been conducting food denial operations and have been constantly patrolling the perimeter of a rubber plantation where their camp is set up, to ensure that no supplies are carried out to the Communist terrorists by the plantation workers.
