Comment

The 4 Commonwealth soldiers: an Australian, a Canadian, a New Zealander and an Englishman. In the background, the Australian and French flags. In the background, the poppy and the "Rising Sun", the official badge of the Australian Army since the late 19th century. This depiction of the rising sun is of course a reference to the immense British Empire of the time, to which Australia belonged.
