Description

Unidentified members of a mortar platoon of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), protect their ears with their hands and turn away, as they fire a mortar which has been set up in a field of harvested hay. While two soldiers are firing the mortar another two are fusing mortars and preparing them for firing. On the ground around the mortar are shells, and mortar carrying cases. In the distance (left) it appears another photographer is taking a photo of the same group of men.
