Description
A quiet game of chess between two members of the 7th Australian Light Horse Regiment (7ALH), camped by the Suez Canal preparatory to revisiting Gallipoli. Note the rifle in front of the shelter. In late 1918, members of 7ALH were chosen to represent the regiment on a tour of the old battlefields of Gallipoli. The group, predominantly made up of Gallipoli veterans, disembarked on the peninsula on 4 December 1918.
