Description

Sea of Japan, 1950-09-28. With his boots off, a member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), takes a nap on a mattress unrolled on the deck of the United States Navy troopship Aiken Victory which is transporting the battalion from Kure in Japan to Pusan and the war in Korea. The soldier has chosen to rest in a seemingly precarious position in front of and below the wheels of two large military trucks tethered on the ship's deck. (Donor I. Robertson)
