Description
These unidentified soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), are using large sticks to reinforce the barbed wire that has been lain along their perimeter defences. The laying of barbed wire part of a plan to hold the Chinese at effective target distance if they attempt a repetition of their spring offensive. Both soldiers are wearing slouch hats, and have removed their shirts to work in their singlets. One soldier (left) has an open weave scarf around his neck. On top of the hill behind the soldiers tents have been set up amongst the rocks.
