AXEMEN'S CARNIVAL AT CIRENCESTER Wood chopping & sawing competitions between Forestry Units of New Zealand and Australia were held at the Abbey, Cirencester.

Keen rivalry was shown between the representatives of the various Dominions. Photo shows - Sapper Malkin of Victoria winning the Tree Felling championship with the aid of jigger boards.
