Description
Lieutenant (Lt) Mockton Bowes Kelly (left) and Lt (later Captain) Ewen Mackay Bland, both of the 21st Battalion, standing in a trench on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Lt Bland is seen holding a 'dud' broomstick bomb; an Australian type of a Turkish jerry-rigged hand grenade that was attached to a stick to increase the throwing range. The original caption notes that these broomstick bombs had an effect more moral than material.
