Description

Korea, c. 1951-02. A member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), inspects a Japanese 70 mm Type 92 (1932) Battalion Gun (or Mountain Gun) used by Chinese Communist forces. The shield at the front of the gun bears the red star of the Chinese Communists. The weapon had either been captured from or abandoned by the Chinese, possibly in the aftermath of the battle for Chipyong-ni. The Chinese had previously captured many such guns from the Japanese at the end of World War 2. (Donor I. Robertson)
