Description

A large crowd of soldiers, probably from the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR) or the 3rd Battalion (3RAR), have gathered for an athletics carnival at a camp in Korea. Most have crowded around the tug of war contest, where two teams are using all their strength to pull against each other. Here the team wearing light colours is pulling on the rope while their leader, with his arms in the air, is urging them on.
