Description

Sokkong Valley area, Korea, 1951-02. A group of South Koreans (right), members of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Service Corps, carries a stretcher bearing a wounded soldier who is probably Chinese. Walking or standing at rear are other Koreans and members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR). The Australian soldier at front may be Corporal Mick Hatton. Snow lies on the hills in the background. The man on the stretcher was probably wounded in one of 3RAR's attacks on a number of nearby hills that were held by Communist Chinese troops. (Donor I. Robertson)
