Description
Two stretcher bearers with the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), prepare to carry an unidentified wounded Australian soldier to a nearby jeep ambulance (out of picture). The injured soldier, lying on a stretcher, is holding on to his slouch hat. An empty stretcher lies on the ground beside him ready for another casualty. Other 3RAR soldiers and troops from the US Army (wearing helmets) gather nearby and talk in the gully. The soldier with the woollen cap (centre) is probably from the 60th Indian Field Ambulance.
