Description
Informal portrait of a smiling but unknown 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR) soldier in front of a sandbagged defensive position. The man has taken off his shirt in the summer sun and is enjoying a drink (probably beer) from mug design commonly seen amongst the troops. The ceasefire had been signed the day before and despite remaining cautious the frontline troops gradually relaxed over the following days as they prepared to withdraw to the agreed demilitarized zone (DMZ).
