Description
Korea. 1950. Unidentified reinforcements for the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), form a human chain as they unload their baggage from the RAAF 77 Squadron aircraft which has brought them to Korea. At the end of the chain the soldiers are loading their gear onto the back of an Army truck. 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.
