This painting shows the road to Lamia from Brallos Pass as seen from the Australian positions of April 1941.
In 1945 official war artist William Dargie was deployed to Greece and Crete to record battle areas where Australian troops had fought in 1941. He was accompanied by Corporal Victor Krauth, a photographer with the war graves unit. Aided by a handful of topographical maps, the pair travelled by truck around Greece and Crete, and spent several months visiting battles sites. Dargie made drawings and paintings of landscapes, battlefields, damaged buildings and leftover wreckage, which were intended to re-create battle scenes at a later date.
