Description

Two soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), wash jeeps in a creek or dam in Korea. Note the low stone wall dividing the water. Jeep number 155258 is nearest to the camera. The jeep at the rear has the bonnet up and the soldier is possibly cleaning the engine bay. Another jeep (number 573641) is parked on the edge of the water. The men washing the jeeps have rolled their trousers up to their knees. In the background below the hill are a tent, trucks and thatched farm buildings.
