The Australians have been involved in fighting in the Battle of Maryang San and an area near the Imjin River. Trucks, jeeps and trailers are parked in a cleared area next to a hill. Some 20th Battalion soldiers have unloaded supplies from the vehicles, while others are preparing to climb down from the trucks which have brought them to the camp. Note the jeep in the foreground with the battalion's patch of diagonal stripes, the name 'PHILIPPINES'and '10F' painted under the windscreen. On the bumper bar are '20th BCT' (20th Battalion Combat Team) and 'F-2'.
