Description

Three unidentified members of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), walk along a Seoul street in a battered part of what was once a populous, well built corner of the city. The buildings have been destroyed by artillery fire or air strikes. Behind them is the shell of a once ornate official building. One soldier (centre) is carrying an Owen gun, and another (right) has his SMLE No 1 MK III* (Lee Enfield) rifle slung over his shoulder.
