Description
An unidentified soldier from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), smokes a cigarette as he spoon-feeds a US Army soldier with tinned food. The American is lying on a stretcher on the ground, and is in a weakened state after being released from captivity by North Korean or Chinese forces. Note the left hand of the American soldier appears to be in the early stages of frostbite. The skin on the joints of the fingers has become thick and dark. Note the thick snow on the rice paddies and hills in the background.
