HOBJ2203 Accession Number: HOBJ2203

Description

In the Korean wet season, river levels soon rise, making crossings dangerous for vehicles. Cooperative American engineers use a bulldozer to tow a stalled jeep (574118), and trailer, across a river. A cable from the bulldozer is attached to the front of the jeep. In the jeep a driver from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), sits at the wheel, while another soldier balances on the large load of supplies and holds on during the bumpy ride.
