Description
An unidentified soldier (possibly British), tends the bar at a mess of a 1st Commonwealth Division base, probably in Korea. Behind him on the wall is a shield with a large collection of badges pinned to it. The badges are those of units fighting in the Korean War, and include ones from the Royal Australian Regiment (RAR), Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR), Canadian Intelligence Corps (CIC) and Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI). Along the bar are bottles of alcohol with the identifiable labels, Van der Humm, Bolskumm, KIA ORA Orange Cordial, Rose's Lime Cordial, Apry, Queen Anne's Scotch Whiskey, and Bols Creme de Menthe. Attached to the board behind the bar is a regimental photograph, a pennant of Her Majesty's New Zealand Ship (HMNZS) Rotoiti, 1951-52, and paper money.
