Description
Exterior view of a captured German fortified stronghold called Garter Point located near Anzac House.

An obscured soldier, probably Australian, is partially visible in the doorway of the pillbox (far left). Note a sign in the background (far right) reads 'Garter Point' and a sign on the corner of the pillbox (centre) reads 'Batt HQ'.
