Watched by a small crowd outside McKune's Tattersalls Hotel, a group of recently recruited soldiers from the local area prepare to leave town in a number of motor vehicles, probably bound for Sydney and then for service overseas. Many of the soldiers may have been reinforcements for the 13th Battalion, 1st AIF.
