Summary

Children gather in front of a horse float after a pony is led from the float. A boy is sitting on the pony which is being held by two women. On the side of the horse float a banner reads "Boys! Win yourself a pony!" The competition was a joint promotion of West's Theatre and Bob Fricker of radio station 5AD for the movie 'The Private War of Major Benson'.
