Description
A view of a hill in Korea where the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), have been in search of North Korean or Chinese troops. Tracks can be seen winding around the hillside. Some tree trunks have been broken off midway and where there are no shell holes on the ground, it indicates the damage has been caused by mortar or machine gun fire, or air burst artillery. Note the circular marks on the hill at the right. These may be the result of digging or shells or mortar rounds exploding on ground contact..
