Description

Korea. 14 December 1954. One of the many arduous duties that fall to the men of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), in Korea, is the manning of a divisional check point on the supply route in Glouchester Valley. Night and day, hot or cold, wet or fine, these men must check the authenticity of the passes carried by Korean Nationals passing through, and the documents carried by the Army drivers. On the job here, assisted by a Korean of the United Nations Security Force, is Private Warren Chadwick of Lindfield, NSW. Note the barbed wire in the foreground.
