The flag being shown by Australian troops in Bardia, is the one which formerly flew over the city's town hall. Australians equipped themselves with all sorts of caps and what-nots discarded, by the defeated Ualians before posing for this picture. Pte. Ingram is seen wearing an Italian helmet; Pte, T, C. Harvey is holding the flag; Pte. V. N.
McFadyen is the man with the bandaged head; and Pte. A. N. Arpente is wearing the fez. Their unit was the first to enter Bardia on the first day of the battle, hence they had a better selection of "trophies" than those who succeeded them.
