Jungle patrol
Description
Stone sculpture of Australian troops with rifles climbing through jungle, weapons 'at the ready'. They are expectant, alert, conscious of potential danger ahead. This sculpture captures the undulating terrain of New Guinea, coupled with mud and dense undergrowth, advancing through the jungle was often arduous.
