Description
An unidentified Australian Red Cross officer (left), wearing a Red Cross badge on his lapel, distributes cigarettes to soldiers recouperating from wounds or illness in a hospital, possibly in Pusan, South Korea. Two of the soldiers are sitting on a bed smoking, while a third stands next the bed. Another soldier (obscured, right) lies on a bed and rests. Note the newspapers lying on the bed and an item labelled 'DOESKIN' on the window sill. The patients, possibly from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), are all wearing pyjamas.
