Description
It's heavy going for these soldiers of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), scrambling up a rocky defile in a cliff face during a battle exercise in Korea. They have just crossed the Imjin River in assault boats and have the task of scaling the cliff to secure a 'beachhead'. 1RAR has its camp on the banks of the Imjin River, which was the scene of much bitter fighting during the Korean War. The soldiers are unidentified.
