The soldiers depicted are dressed in distinctive World War I-era service uniforms, most notably the broad-brimmed slouch hats often associated with the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) forces. Their khaki uniforms, complete with webbing, belts, and ammunition pouches, reflect standard issue equipment for infantry during the period of 1914-1918. The visible rank insignia, including a sergeant with three chevrons and a corporal with two, denote the structured military hierarchy within the group.
