Description

Probably Songju, Korea, c. 1950-10-05. A group of soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), has lunch out of a series of tins of food they have opened from a ration box labelled 'Ration Small Detachment 5-In-1D'. The soldiers, who appear to be eating biscuits that came in the tins, are using the top of a trailer attached to a jeep as a table. They have spread a towel or cloth over part of the trailer to act as a tablecloth. Several military trucks stand in the background. (Donor I. Robertson)
