Description

Japan, c. 1950-09. On a 'Korean Battle Board' map mounted on a wall in the Intelligence Office, Private D.F. ('Junior)' Ellis, a member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), places flags to indicate the positions of allied and enemy forces in Korea. Ellis is taking the information for the map from an article entitled 'Background for War' in a magazine, perhaps 'Time', which he is holding in his other hand. 3RAR, part of the Australian component of BCOF, was soon to leave for service in Korea.
