Description
A study of a soldier who cross legged appears to be falling, the soldier is depicted from the rear and wears full Australian infantry uniform and carries a rifle on a halter under his right arm. The legs of the soldier are repeated underneath the drawing so as to obtain a detail of the folds in the pant and the ribbing on the lower leg. On the same page is another study of a soldier wearing a hat and is depicted face down from the rear and crawling along the ground. This is possibly a study for the painting 'Anzac, the landing 1915' which was painted by Lambert in 1920-22.
