Description

Australian reserves making their way to the front line, and pack mules returning along the track which lead from Idiot Corner to Westhoek Ridge, in the Ypres sector. Bellevarde Ridge can be seen in the background. This scene is typical of a battlefield in the Ypres salient during the Third Battle of Ypres.
