HOBJ1704 Accession Number: HOBJ1704

Description

Korea. 1950. Australian reinforcements for the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), as they take their first sight of the country over which they have been trained to fight. These men, all in their early to mid-twenties, are typical of the troops whose dash and initiative in action have endeared them to their United Nations Force comrades of other nations. Not long afterwards, these soldiers were getting their cold-weather clothing issue and all scouted for flap-eared wool-lined caps to replace the traditional digger hat, which is not so practical in winter warfare. Note the writing on the aeroplane, `77 Squadron'.
