Description
Having chased Chinese forces out of a tough patch of hilly country (near Hill 614) in Central Korea, these unidentified stretcher bearers of 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), carry out their casualties. They are moving carefully through an abandoned rural village. Freezing conditions in the hills make the quick evacuation of the wounded essential. Note the large kimchee (pickled cabbage) and small cooking pots in front of the thatched house at rear.
