A hive of activity as unidentified men of B Company (B Coy), 2nd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), unload ration cases and other provisions from a truck sent to re supply them on the fringe of the jungle near the road to Sungei Siput, Perak. The main body of B Coy is chasing a group of Communist terrorists through the jungle and these men have been sent back to bring up more supplies to the main body. Within 15 minutes of meeting the truck the men had loaded their packs up and were ready to return. Visible in the foreground, leaning against a large ration case is a Number 5, Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE), jungle carbine with '32' painted on the stock. An Owen gun is also visible further back, leaning against a wooden crate. The effort of this work in the jungl heat is obvious from the sweat drenched shit worn by the man on the right.
