Description

Korea. c April 1951. In the Korean wet season, river levels soon rise, making crossings dangerous for vehicles. Here an unidentified soldier from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), who tried to cross the swollen river is trying to fix his jeep after it has stalled. In the background a large American GMC truck, laden with soldiers, and a US Army jeep, have no trouble crossing the river.
