Description

Korea. February 1953. Members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), show incoming American troops some of the drill about the Bren gun. It proved intensely interesting to the Americans, who had seen the gun before, but did not know how it worked. The group includes, left to right: Private First Class (Pfc) Gene Ornduff, US Army, of Virginia; Pfc Bob Maccini of Massachusetts; Private (Pte) John (Bushy) Walker of Bayswater, WA; Pte Dave Pugh of Auburn, NSW; Corporal (Cpl) Orville Mabe of North Carolina, USA; Cpl Francis Bell of Arkansas, USA; Pte Larry Kutt of Hornsby, NSW. Note the sandbagged dugouts in the background.
