Description
Australian soldiers marching into camp at Souakim, being greeted and cheered by British-Indian troops. On the hills behind the soldiers tents can be seen, and British-Indian soldiers tend small fires in the distance. An Australian soldier refills his water flask in the lower left corner, from one of two buckets held by a British soldier. British-Indian soldiers in the centre left are holding flags. The New South Wales contingent which had been previously attached to the Shropshire infantry marched into Suakin, a port in northeast Sudan, on March 29 1885.
