A large group of soldiers from the 1st Australian Wireless Signal Squadron, Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force and the British 7th Cavalry Brigade, inspecting the ruins which include a lion standing over a prostrate man, roughly carved out of black basalt.

The soldiers are visiting the ruins as part of a YMCA excursion.
