Description

Rifles and owen guns at the ready and loaded down like pack horses, these unidentified men of B Company, 2nd Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR), move down a steep trail through tall lallang grass towards the jungle beyond. The men have just loaded up with ration boxes and other provisions from a supply truck sent to meet them, following a radio signal from their Company Commander requesting more supplies. Now it's back to bandit chasing in the jungle for them. The men are engaged in a follow up operation near Sungei Siput, Perak.
