Athol photo - camels

These images are part of my archive. They were either sent home to Adah (Athol's mother) as an enclosure with other correspondence or found with his personal items which were sent home after his death. They appear to be created whilst he was serving with Imperial Camel Corps in the first half of 1916.

There are no annotations on the reverse. They are approximately 8cm long and 6cm wide.

Note the motor vehicle set up with a canvas shelter. The camels in the background appear to be unloaded. A dry campsite with no sign of any vegetation.

A group of 4 cameleers at the back (RHS)

and 3 horsemen with 2 baggage horses in the front group.

I think they certainly look like Aussies - particularly the chap on the far right.
