Pictured, left to right: Private (Pte) D. G. Kentwell, 2/30th Australian Infantry Battalion; Pte G. E. Elbourne, 22nd Australian Brigade Workshops; Sergeant R. G. Moles, Australian Army Pay Corps (AAPC), and Pte R. F. Wells, 2/30th Australian Infantry Battalion.
NB: The AWM caption names one of the men as Sgt. R.G. Moles, but it is most probably VX27180 - Sgt. Archibald George MOLES, and NX47685 - WELLS is on the left and NX26144 - KENTWELL is on the right.
