Captain Fletcher, of the Postal Corps, is depicted in the foreground followed by Daryl Lindsay (1889-1976), Dyson's brother-in-law and batman in the field. Both men are shown hunched over in apprehension of the shells bursting above. Igaree Corner, a deeply sunken intersection just North of Noreuil, France, was repeatedly shelled by German artillery and named after an Arabic word for 'hurry-up' which the Australians had learned in Egypt.
