Description
Korea, c. 1951-03. A member of the Intelligence Section, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), searches the dead body of a Communist Chinese soldier who had been killed by battalion troops. The 3RAR soldier is going through the dead man's pockets looking for documents. The dead man's face is disfigured with bloody wounds as his right arm, stiff with rigor mortis, sticks up grotesquely into the air. Intently watching the search at right is a Korean peasant dressed in traditional garb. (Donor I. Robertson)
