Description

An outdoors group portrait of a draft of men of the 22nd Battalion, all unidentified, ready to proceed to England for embarkation to Australia.

A sergeant (Sgt) (front row, third from the right) a soldier (front row, fifth from the right) and another soldier (back row, third from the left) are wearing Military Medal ribbons. A Sgt (front row, fourth from the left) has two wound stripes on his left sleeve and is probably wearing a Distinguished Conduct Medal ribbon.

The goat in the front row (far left) is probably the battalion mascot. Note the statue, possibly a religious figure, on the building behind.
