HOBJ2145 Accession Number: HOBJ2145

Description

Three unidentified soldiers from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), stop to look at the roped off entrance to the Chogun Hotel in Seoul. The entrance is a traditional building with a tiled roof. Below the roof is a white sign with Korean writing, and written in English 'CHOGUN HOTEL'. The main hotel building can be seen behind the entrance. The soldiers are wearing slouch hats and carrying their weapons. A Korean official (probably a policeman)(right), wearing a white brassard on his left sleeve, stands next to the entry building. Near him is a Korean woman with a baby strapped to her back. A young child has wandered over to examine one of the entry pillars.
