Description

Unidentified soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), wait outside a large tent for their first hot shower in many weeks. They are carrying their towels as they rest, talk and smoke cigarettes. Although the weather is still cold some soldiers have replaced their pile caps with slouch hats. The shower tent is part of a camp that has been set up in a valley. Note the vent pipe protruding from the top of the tent.
