The shirt fastens with seven plastic buttons, khaki in colour, and has a two buttons on each cuff.

In early 2007 the Australian War Memorial appointed Charles Green and Lyndell Brown as official artists to Iraq and Afghanistan. Green and Brown are based in Melbourne and work collaboratively on the same paintings. Their work is represented in most Australian state and public collections. Their experiences as official artists travelling with the Australian Defence Forces bear some similarity to those of George Lambert ninety years previously - having to work quickly and pack up at a moment's notice when the Forces needed to move. They were attached to military bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Their task was to record and interpret the training, logistical, and operational activities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) personnel they encountered.
