Description

The prospect of a warm shower and a bit of relaxation brings a smile to the face of Private Ken Ashwood, 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), of Yeronga, Qld. He had just taken part in large scale training exercise that amongst other things sort to familiarize the men with the areas just north of their defensive positions south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Private Ashwood is carrying a field pack and an Owen sub machine gun.
