Description
Pakchong area, North Korea, 1950-11. Brandishing a swagger stick, 2/40101 Lieutenant James Hay-Archer ('Jim') Young, commander of 6 Platoon, B Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), leads his platoon along a dirt track in the Korean countryside as they move up to the front. All of the soldiers are carrying weapons and ammunition. Apparently indifferent to the soldiers' presence, a Korean peasant (left) squats beside the track and eats from a tin can. (Donor I. Robertson)
