| Description | There are two long rows of soldiers sitting on the ground and they are flanked by a row of standing men curving round them. The soldiers have a mixture of hats and helmets on and seem to be placed in no particular order. There is a line of stripped trees in the background and further away roof tops are clearly visible. John Warwick Brooke is thought to have taken this relaxed group photograph. The action seen in Gallipoli by the Newfoundlanders was their first real military deployment. It was also after this event that the prefix 'Royal' was added to their name. [Original reads: 'BRITISH OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE WESTERN FRONT. Officers and men Newfoundland Regiment now serving in France and who served with the Regiment in Gallipoli.'] |
