ANZAC FASHIONS. SUMMER
Reading edition
By Bomde A. H. Scott 4TH Battery. F.A.
1. Australian sharpshooter disguised as a bush deceives a bird 2. First signs of summer: discarded puttees. Infantryman down from the firing line 3. Water-carrying in hot weather is hard work and requires few clothes 4. Sun-flaps on caps and shorts had quite a good run
5. Officer (incog.) armed with stick and bullet-pierced periscope. (No periscope complete without bullet holes testifying to hair-breadth escapes)
6. Gas helmets will never be as popular as home-made shorts
7. The English-made slacks (for the “Australian giants”) were much too slack except under the armpits
8. Slacks and a roll of blankets give a very Australian appearance
