  Thanks again Art Siegel, the Imperial War Museum's captions are much better than Bain's. We'll update our description.

  Nice behind the bar shot, check out the rat traps!

• Merryjack said:

  The glasses are surprisingly small, either Sevens (7 fl oz or 200 ml) or Ponies (140 ml). And they appear to be sculling them, none of your warm pints sipped for an hour.

• Jock Livre said:

  Merryjack Looks that way, although I've seen Qld cane cutters sipping Ponies of Barb Wire (XXXX) after a long, hot day. Apparently so the alcohol doesn't go straight to the head and they collapse.

• Iain said:

  Interesting mix of cold and hot weather uniforms!

• Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:

  The name of their ship has been blanked out from their caps, that would be due to wartime censorship so the enemy would not know which ships were in port.
