HOBJ1882 Accession Number: HOBJ1882

Description

Two unidentified soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), make the most of their time at a camp. Outside their tent, one soldier (left) is cleaning his rifle with a cylindrical brush, while another (right) sits on a piece of timber in the sun, and reads a book. Thick snow lies on the ground and the roofs of the huts at the rear. The soldier with the rifle is wearing a fur lined pile cap with a rising sun badge on the front of the raised flap. Note the towel and small leather zippered case balancing on top of a tent pole.
