Soldiers queuing for refreshments. The sign just on the edge of the photograph reads, 'Tea and Sandwiches 30 cent. Pay Here.' Behind the sign is a rather grimy tepee tent with its flap open. A trestle table has been set up in front of this. A soldier who has put on a white jacket over his uniform tunic, is standing behind the table holding tickets, possibly selling them to the uniformed men who are queuing at the table. A sergeant standing a little in front of the queue is looking at the camera, while the soldier in the foreground is looking at the men at the table.
[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT. Refreshments at a horse show. Waiting their turn for tickets.']
