Head of a soldier
Description
This is a bronze bust of an Australian soldier. In the Daily Telegraph (01/05/1942), interviewer Mr R.C.H. McKie writes "Among the men he [Dadswell] marched and fought with, the sculpture found three types of Australians, but not one typical Australian type. He decided to combine the three types in this head of an Australian soldier".
