Description

Members of the Australian Light Horse Field Ambulance bivouacking in the desert at Great Bitter Lake. Some of the men are under small makeshift shelters to protect them from the heat and sun, while others are removing their clothes, probably to go swimming in the lake which can be seen in the distance. This is the right hand image in a two part panorama. See A01981P for the combined image.
