This picture is set apart by its pairing of two rural trades, bushmen and sawmill hands, rather than a single occupation. Men from timber camps and outback districts were among the many workers who answered recruiting calls during the First World War, and 1915 was a year of heavy enlistment, shaped in part by the Gallipoli campaign. Bushmen were often valued for their riding, bush skills and marksmanship, while sawmill workers brought hard physical experience from the timber industry. Images like this show how the war drew on working communities far from the major cities.
