Australian troops in Korea are sweltering in the steamy heat of the rainy season. With the heat and the rain come the mosquitos, and anti-malarial pills and mosquito nets are a must. Quartermaster's storeman, Lance Corporal (L Cpl) Jim Stewart, of Brookton, WA, hands out a batch of nets to an unidentified Korean soldier. The nets are for distribution to a party of new arrivals to the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR). L Cpl Stewart has been serving with 1RAR on the Korean truce line for five months. He used to farm a small property at Wagin Boyup Brook, WA, before he enlisted in the Australian Regular Army five years ago. (L Cpl Jim Stewart is possibly 51721 Alexander James Stewart).
