Description

Korea. January 1953. The searchlights used in the Brigade of the 1st Commonwealth Division to which the two Australian battalions belong are worked by teams from various brigade units. The lights do a useful job showing up enemy positions at night and making things easier for our patrols. Here Private Colin Albury of Banyo, Qld, and of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), and Lance Corporal Jim Wilson of Ryhope, County Durham, and of The Durham Light Infantry, clean the glass and adjust the carbon ends respectively.
