Description

Changhowon-ni, Korea, 1951-02. Carrying a huge load of firewood on his back, Corporal (Cpl) Len Wright of C Company, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), arrives at the top of a snow-covered hill where his company is camped. At right is Private Gerry Davidson. With the aid of the staff he is holding, Cpl Wright has trudged up a steep hill with the load after scrounging the firewood from a damaged house. He is carrying the load in a traditional 'A' frame as used by Korean peasants. (Donor I. Robertson) (Compare image P01813.507)
