HOBJ2138 Accession Number: HOBJ2138

Description

An unidentified driver from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), sits in a jeep in a Seoul street in a battered part of what was once a populous, well built corner of the city. Across the road are the ruins of buildings destroyed by artillery fire or air strikes. Two other soldiers can be seen (right) behind a wall of stacked bricks, investigating the area. In the back of the jeep are several boxes. The label on one cardboard box includes the words 'MENU NO.', indicating it is probably a ration box. A rifle is lying in the back of the jeep behind the driver.
