Description
Machine gunners and mortar men, the specialist 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 the 1st Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (1RAR), carried out highly accurate field firing shoots near the Imjin River in Korea. Here an unidentified gunner is adjusting the sights of a 3 inch mortar.
