Description
Letters and parcels come tumbling out of a hessian mailbag being tipped upside down by an unidentified soldier of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR)(left). Three other soldiers eagerly watch the mail fall to the ground at a camp-site on top of a hill in Korea. The soldier with the mailbag is smoking a cigarette and is wearing a sleeveless singlet with his identity discs tucked inside. Crouched on the right, another soldier has also removed his shirt in the summer heat and is wearing a white singlet with short sleeves, a watch on his left wrist and an identity bracelet on his right. The soldier wearing a slouch hat (second from left), is drinking a bottle of Asahi beer.
