Description

A boxing contest at a tournament of the 4th Brigade, in the rest area, at Neuve Eglise. All ranks took keen interest in this contest between Sergeant Woolfe, 13th Battalion (left), and Private Perry, 4th Field Ambulance (right). Major E. O. Milne DSO, 4th Australian Division, referee, is on the platform. At this time the winter rest was nearly over, and with the approach of fine weather came the renewal of activity on both the enemy's side and ours.
