Post cards - 20 May 1916 - photos of the 2nd Camel Company on parade

Athol sends his mother two post cards enclosed in an envelope. They depict the 2nd Camel Company, ICC, in three sections on parade. Athol was the officer commanding the 2nd Camel Company.

Perhaps you can make out a couple of the white 'bell tents' in the background behind the lead camel. There are also a few bushes near the tents - but apart from that Sollum really was a moonscape.



Athol notes 'This shows three sections on Parade'.
He appears on the farthest right as is noted in the postcard's caption.


Athol notes 'Three sections on parade'. However, Athol is not in the photograph.
