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.
