One of the last exercises to be carried out by the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), was a field firing exercise by D Company in which they defended the banks of the Imjin River against an 'enemy invader'. D Company was supported by New Zealand gunners with their 25 pounder guns, mortars and machine guns of the Battalion. Here the medium machine guns fire across the river in support of D Company.
