Description

Here artist Septimus Power shows three lines of horse shelters, with a group of horses standing under the foreground shelter. A single horse outside the shelter is being attended by a lighthorseman at right mid-ground. Several nosebags hang on the end of the posts. The horses are part of the 1st Australian Division, 2nd Battery.
