Description
Probably Songju, Korea, c. 1950-10-05. Members of the Machine Gun Section, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), most of them bare-chested in the midday sun, gather around a campfire on which they are boiling the billy and cooking up a dixie full of stew for lunch. The billy and dixie are suspended from an iron rod which the soldiers have rigged up as a crossbar, supported at each end by the tripod mounting for a Vickers machine gun. The soldier (right) is sticking a fork into the stew perhaps to pick out a morsel of food for tasting. Some opened tins lie on the ground next to the fire. (Donor I. Robertson)
