These images describe the different standards of behaviour for soldiers between being at home and being away. The scenes are all located at or near the beach; with the first in the upper left corner showing a large middle eastern style building on a beach with many bathers, a rowboat and a watch tower. The next image depicts two Australian soldiers sitting on their clothes sun baking wearing only their slouch hats. Above them to the right is a dream scene in which one of the naked soldiers fights with a man wearing an ancient Roman toga and helmet. They are watched by a naked woman in a bathtub. The next image depicts two soldiers behind a barbed wire barricade. One looks angrily at the other who is removing his clothes. To the right of this image is a sun baking Australian soldier wearing only his slouch hat; his clothes and boots are folded beside him. He is dreaming of a young woman writing a letter. The final image pictures two couples sitting on a beach, one couple are seated in the sand and the other are under an umbrella, with the woman on the sand and the man, smoking a pipe, seated in a deck chair. Between them and the surfers in the water is a man removing all his clothes.
