Drawing for dinkus for "The trained man always wins"
Description
Two profile head studies of Australian soldiers, Ted (top) and Carl (bottom), wearing 'giggle' hats. 'Giggle' hats and their accompanying 'giggle' suits, a loose fitting pyjama-style khaki drill jacket and trousers, were so-called because the wearers thought they gave them the appearance of clowns.
