Summary

Close view of mourners in a cemetery, possibly at West Terrace, Adelaide, as soldiers fire the last salute in honour of a dead soldier. According to a researcher, this is the funeral of Colonel Havilland Le Mesurier. The headstone is inscribed: In memory of Colonel Havilland Mesurier late commandant of SA military forces died 25 November 1913. Adjacent memorials and the Smythe Chapel in the background of the West Terrace Cemetery help to identify the photograph contents.
