Description
An unidentified serviceman from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) on the United States troopship Aiken Victory, shakes hands and says farewell to a friend at the wharf, an unidentified sergeant. Two other servicemen watch from the deck of the ship. They are soon to be transported to Pusan, then the first Australian Army operations in the Korean War. Note the large cranes on the ship for loading heavy armaments and vehicles.
