Private (Pte) Chris Bell-Chambers, a member of the Sniper Section, 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR), smiles and waves to a group of Korean children who have emerged from their hiding place after their village has been cleared of enemy forces. Snow lies on the ground and on the roofs of houses in the village. The rifle Pte Bell-Chambers is carrying on his shoulder is a .303 inch Short Magazine Lee Enfield (SMLE) No.1 MkIII*(HT).

Are you sure this isn’t a Cossack trying to evict Koreans from the Vladivostok region, circa the 1910s?

1: No. I’ve seen numerous pictures of Australian Soldiers doing their thing in Korea during the war. What this guy is wearing is standard winter gear for the time frame.
In case this was a joke….hahaha!

#3, I was indeed joking. Australian winter gear (who knew?!) does indeed evoke Russian military garb.
