Description
Group portrait of four unidentified Australian infantrymen posing behind the truck, on rails, which was used to transport each shell for the 15 inch German naval gun that the 3rd Battalion captured in Arcy Wood during the Battle of Proyart on 23 August 1918. The large handle on the end of the truck (right) indicates that it was pulled by hand.
