Dinkum diggers' doleful dials depict disgusted disappointment after walking 5 kilos
Description
A group of five Australian soldiers have walked five kilometres in blizzard like conditions, only to arrive at their destination - a tavern - to be prohibited from finding respite there. The artist makes clever use of alliteration in her caption, drawing on a common linguistic style of print media cartoons, together with the colloquial term 'dial' for the human face.
