Description
"Monash Gully [sic]. Barricades across the road to avoid the snipers where the men are standing. Gen (General) Bridges (GOC Australian Division) was killed. The breastworks make zig zags in the road so that the snipers who are on the hill side can not get a straight view down the road." Image from the collection of Major Charles L. Mason, Royal Engineers, British Army.
