Description
Depicts an Australian soldier wearing an armband for the Military Police and a slouch hat, leaning casually against a bomb damaged wall. Another Australian soldier approaches, wounded, dishevelled and war-wearing, he wears a tin helmet and drags behind him his rifle - the battlefield behind him. "Gladys" alludes to the disparity between Australian soldiers who see service at the front and those that don't.
