The Australians have been involved in fighting in the Battle of Maryang San and an area near the Imjin River. Here unidentified members of the battalion wave goodbye from the back of an open truck. They are leaving their muddy camp dressed in cold weather clothing. The first snows of the 1951 Korean winter have fallen in recent days.
