Description
Cairo, Egypt. 25 December 1915. Informal portrait of members of 20th Australian Army Service Corps seated around a table enjoying Christmas dinner. Note the tin of IXL jam on the table. The mess was in a large shed which contained sixteen tables, each holding 12 men a piece. The original caption reads `We had everything that you could think of from a ham down to preserves of all kinds. Wont (sic) look much like war times to see us all here facing these luxuries. The twelve of us around the table are permanent, while those looking on are waiting till we have finished in case anything is left. I might tell you they were disappointed.'
