Description

Depicts a mounted Australian officer with his bayonet rifle stowed on his back, leading a groupe of German soldiers, or 'Jerrys', along a road lined with bomb damaged trees. Standing on the side of the road is another Australian officer - they look at each other and smile, pleased with their capture.
