Description

Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) gather around and enjoy listening to the band of the US Army's 1st Cavalry Division, in a rest area in Korea. Some band members are seated on wooden benches, while others have had to improvise. The drummer is sitting on an upturned suitcase, while the keyboard (organ?) player (right) is sitting on an empty fuel can, on top of an Australian ammunition box. The band leader is conducting at the front of the band and is holding his trumpet in readiness to play. Standing next to him a band member performs on the ukulele.
