Description
Machine gunners and mortar men, the specialists of a Battalion, need a lot of practice to maintain their high degree of proficiency at arms. Recently members of the mortar and machine gun platoons of 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), carried out highly accurate field firing shoots near the Imjin River in Korea. Seen here an unidentified member of a machine gun crew feeds the ammunition during the practice.
