Description
North Korea, c. 1950-11. Sergeant (Sgt) Roy Findlay, a member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), walks along the edge of a paddy field as he forms part of a long line of 3RAR troops on the move. The line extends across the fields in the distance, with large hills rising in the background. Sgt Findlay has a pair of binoculars hanging from his neck and a rifle slung over his shoulder. Another soldier behind him is carrying a stretcher and is using a walking stick for support. The next soldier in the line is carrying a mortar or the barrel of machine gun on his shoulder. All of the soldiers are wearing windproof jackets and pile caps as protection against the cold. (Donor I. Robertson)
