The recruits are carrying a variety of weapons and equipment, with one man (centre) carrying the barrel of a mortar on his shoulder. The soldiers are standing beside what appears to be a water-filled bomb crater (left) around which are broken and stunted tree trunks. The original photograph was captured from the VC.
