HOBJ3273 Accession Number: HOBJ3273

Description

An unidentified soldier (possibly British), tends the bar at a mess of the 1st Commonwealth Division base, probably in Korea. Five soldiers are at the bar, drinking beer from glass beer mugs. Several of the soldiers have RA shoulder titles, indicating they are members of the Royal Artillery. Note the soldier on the left is holding a kitten. On the wall behind the bartender is a shield with a large collection of military badges pinned to it. The badges are those of units fighting in the Korean War. On the wall surrounding the bar are a Union Jack flag, a crooked portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and a 1st Commonwealth Division formation sign.
