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 leader of the team wearing the light colours, raises his arms in the air and urges them on. Two of the competitors have fallen to the ground near the end of the rope and the strain of pulling on the rope can be seen on the faces of all the competitors. The spectators are cheering and yelling and some are waving their arms and hats in the air.
