Lone Pine, looking towards the Nek, Walker's Ridge
Description
Depicts a landscape, the site of the 1915 charge at the Nek, looking north towards The Nek, with the slopes on the right, low trees and shrubs in the foreground and a low ridge behind. George Lambert wrote on 6 March 1919: 'This morning I was out at twenty minutes to sunrise to get the effect of light for the Charge at the Neck [sic]. Very cold bleak & lonely. The Jackals, damn them, were chorusing their hate, the bones showed up white even in the faint dawn and I felt rotten, but as soon as I got to my sport of the colour of the dawn on this shrubby scrubby hilly land was very beautiful and I did my little sketch quite well before breakfast."
