Description

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. At dusk the hot, tired troops wearily approach the bivouac area after their 28 mile march. All soldiers are unidentified.
