Summary

Description
English: Caption: "Two unidentified Australian Lewis Machine Gunners of the 1st Battalion in a place of vantage formed by a shell splintered tree on the Ramparts at Ypres. During the Third Battle of Ypres, the aerial activity was almost continuous, day and night, and the rattle of machine guns for aerial defence was practically incessant. The gunner (left) has a magazine ready to load, once the magazine on the gun is empty."
