Description
Heliopolis, Egypt. c. 1915. Soldiers load a horse drawn wagon and local men work while seated on the ground amongst stacks of stores, including bags of fodder, in the lines of 20th Australian Army Supply Company (AASC). The original caption reads `A general view of our supply company at Heliopolis 2nd oasis camp. There are three companies in the 20th ASC the first, second, & third. Every third day it falls to our lot to supply all the units with fodder for the horses which total something like 5,000. What you see here in the picture will only last for one day. It averages about 1/6 a day for each horse to feed & it is costing the Government a nice little penny. They do very little work.'
