Description
Unidentified members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), erect a makeshift timber ladder on a damaged rail bridge, with the aim of having the infantry use the bridge to cross the river. It is one of several bridges destroyed by retreating North Koreans. Two Koreans are also on the bridge behind the overhanging piece of railway line. Note the man with bare feet (front left), crouched on a narrow metal structure of the bridge. He has an axe slung from a sash at his waist.
