Description
Soldiers from the 16th New Zealand Field Artillery Regiment, sit on the slope of a hill in a rest area and listen to a band of the US Army's 1st Cavalry Division. The sergeant (right) is playing a sousaphone (tuba), which wraps all the way around his body. His music sheets are on a lyre (clamp) attached to the instrument. Note the sergeant's shoulder patch has a Norman shield (yellow), a black diagonal stripe, and in the upper right corner, a black horse's head cut off diagonally at the neck. Band members are carrying the rifles slung over their shoulders while they are playing their instruments.
