A hive of industry as unidentified men of B Company (B Coy), 2nd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), unload cases of 24 hour ration packs from the back of a truck, following a radio signal from the Company Commander to B Coy Headquarters requesting the truck to meet them at a rendezvous point near the road to Sungei Siput. In about 15 minutes the ration party had broken open the cases, loaded the rations into their packs and were ready to rejoin the main body of the company.
