Description

A small group of unidentified soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), rest and eat rations at a rocky outcrop high in a mountainous area in Korea. Snow lies on the rocks and mountains and the soldiers are wearing hooded jackets and pile caps to help protect them from the intense cold. The rear group has gathered around a small fire in order to keep warm and heat up food and drinks. Weapons, sleeping bags and other equipment have been spread out below the shelter of the rocks and in one of the trees.
