Summary

New civilian recruits for Army service during World War I marching along a road in South Australia escorted by a uniformed soldier; four of their number stand in the front, three holding bugles up to their mouths and the fourth playing a small drum. The officer on the far side of the group (near the third row) is Robert Conroy Parrott (see also PRG 280/1/18/8 and B 23141); the location of the photo is probably Mitcham Camp (based on Parrott's career); and the date around 1915 (based on the fact he is still wearing his old pre-war 74th Militia hat and jacket).
