MELJ0256 Accession Number: MELJ0256

Description

Even in the Korean wet season, when the hills run with water and the lowlands become sodden lakes of mud, training continues. These soldiers of the 3rd battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), are off on a training run in the rain. It is a testimony to their physical fitness that wearing full battle equipment, they are expected to, and can run two miles in eighteen minutes. Even without their rifles a two mile run in the mud and rain is a gruelling test.
