Description
Korea. 13 October 1954. Private Les Riddett of Drouin, Vic, keeps in touch with his Company Headquarters on the telephone during a "scram". In Korea the code word "scram" brings troops of the 1st Commonwealth Division rushing from their living quarters to man their battle stations in the Kansas Line. "Scram" comes frequently but irregularly at any hour of the day or night. Nobody knows when "scram" may turn out to be the real thing. This might be the last "scram" for members of 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), before it leaves Korea.
