Troops of 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF) in Japan, trained intensively for combat at weekend field exercises at Haramura. Included in their training was a mock attack by the North Koreans (a platoon of C Company) who made an ambush aided by a mock tank. They joined the Battalion in attack and defence exercises later. Seen here are 3RAR troops firing a Vickers machine gun from a well dug in fox hole. Note the spare rounds of ammunition in the box on the right and the spent ammunition belt on the left.
