Unknown Official Australian Photographer

    Notes:
  • c. 27th September, 1917 'A pillbox known as Anzac Strong Post, captured by Australian troops in the attack of the 1st and 2nd Australian Divisions, on 20 September 1917, and on which they hoisted an Australian flag. To his position there subsequently came an enemy messenger dog with messages to a German officer, telling of the Australian attack and instructing him t hold out at all costs. The dog was killed by shellfire later in the day, and the flag was destroyed, for the pillbox suffered many direct hits from the enemy's high explosive shells. This photograph was taken a week later. Note the ANZAC sign and the rifles leaning against the pill box.' (AWM) An original photograph taken from a contemporary album collection.
