Description
Informal portrait of Private Tom Bain, D Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) of Hobart, Tas, moves into position with his bazooka during an exercise conducted by D Company, 3RAR. D Company, supported by New Zealand 25 pounders, mortars and Battalion machine guns, held the banks of the Imjin River, after successfully repelling an 'enemy' attack against their position in Korea. The Company held off the 'enemy' long enough for the rest of the Battalion to man their Kansas line positions. 3RAR will leave the 38th Parallel area to return to Australian in November 1954, ending over four years of commitment to Korea.
