Description

Korea, c. 1950-12. Elevated view of the cookhouse used by the cooks of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), at a campsite in the countryside. The cookhouse is a roughly-built timber shed with a chimney or flue sticking up through its roof (left) and a makeshift flag attached to the end of the ridge pole (right). The flag consists of a square of striped bed linen mounted on a slender branch cut from a tree. A rifle and some soldiers' packs lean against the wall of the shed (left), while some clothing and a dixie rest on its roof. A jumble of equipment lies on the ground at right including a spade, ration boxes, dixies, basins, tins and a jerry can. Bren gun carrier no. 5146 stands behind the cookhouse (right), while winter snow lies on the ridges and furrows of a ploughed field in the background.
