The caption to go with this photograph reads: "Gun crew goes into action. Laying is Gnr John Braithwaite, Palmerston North; ramming is Gnr Sam Gilbert of Samoa; loading is Gnr Peter Jansen of Pahiatua". Photograph taken in Korea, 1 April 1952, by Ian Mackley. This is the Charlie 3 gun...that's my dad - John Braithwaite, gun layer - sitting at the sights, wearing the white belt. This picture was used by NZ Post in 2009, as part of its Anzac stamp series.
