Description

Korea. 17 November 1954. Music during the morning "smoko" has become a regular feature of the working day for members of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), who are building huts on their new camp site in preparation for the severe Korean winter. A few lively tunes by the Battalion band helps this work along. Here Lance Corporal Ian Stone of Saddlers Crossing, Qld, is playing the cornet. He is only 21 but has ten years of solo cornet playing behind him, and has many championships to his credit. He came to Korea with 1RAR in April 1954.
