Description
Informal portrait of Captain James Francis (Frank) Hurley, Australian Official Photographer, standing beside a big German shell which had failed to explode when it fell on the Pozieres Road in France, during the fighting some time earlier. The shell has been chalked with a humorous message, 'Please don't take me home'.
