Description
A group of German prisoners, taken by Australian troops, making their way towards the Menin Gate, following the capture of many German troops during the attack launched that morning. Soldiers, leading a line of pack mules, are seen heading in the opposite direction towards the front line. The ruins of Ypres can be seen in the background. Note the light railway line along the side of the road, which was used for transporting troops and supplies.
