Series of studies based on military centre
Description
A series of sketches based on the military centre in Darwin are illustrated on the recto and the verso of the sheet. Included is a sketch of a wrestling match between two wrestlers who reportedly heaved the referee (Ross Williams) out of the ring in mock fury, resulting in the excited intervention of an officer who was not "in the know".
