Description

Photograph of the presentation of medals to troops of ANZAC Mounted Division by Sir Edmund Allenby. From album of 516 photographs; first of three photograph albums compiled by Brig John Gilbert Browne (b 1879), 1916-1919; associated with 14th (King's) Hussars, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force and Egyptian Expeditionary Force. The trooper receiving the medal appears to be wearing a colour over white colour patch, and is therefore likely to be from the Australian 1st Light Horse Brigade. Other identifiable officers present in the presentation party include Australian Major General Harry Chauvel, Commander of the Desert Mounted Corps, (second from left), and Major General Edward Chaytor, Commander of the ANZAC Mounted Division (tall figure to Chauvel’s left) Associated with World War One, Egypt and Palestine (1914-1918).
