Haramura, Japan. 10 August 1950. Troops of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force (BCOF), trained intensively for combat at weekend field exercises. Their march to the training ground was interrupted when `North Koreans' (a platoon of C Company) ambushed them with the aid of a `mock-up' tank. They later joined the Battalion in attack and defence exercises. Seconds after the Battalion dived for cover grenades were thrown by the `North Koreans' and enveloped the area with heavy smoke.
