Description

American troops, resting on the roadside, on their way to the Australian lines to participate in the battle of Hamel the following day. They were all told about a battalion of United States troops 'attached in platoons to Australian Battalions, and, though brand new to fighting of any sort, they acquitted themselves that day most bravely.'
