St Kilda, Vic. C. 1920. Studio portrait of an unknown man posing as an Australian artilleryman. The sculptor May Butler-George used photographs like this to assist her in constructing several bas-relief sculptures for the Australian 2nd Division Memorial at Mont St Quentin, France. The artist noted that on this occasion the man, simulating a soldier positioning an 18 pounder artillery piece, had "too much flesh on."
