    Two individuals stand before a large sandstone obelisk war memorial inscribed with the dates '1914-1921', located in what appears to be a desert environment. One person is wearing military desert camouflage uniform and the other is dressed in civilian black attire. Red poppy wreaths have been placed at the base of the memorial, indicating a commemorative ceremony.
    A woman dressed in a black jacket and skirt stands inside a war memorial, looking upward at large stone panels engraved with names of fallen soldiers organized by military rank. The memorial walls display names listed under headings such as Major, Captain, Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, Sergeant, Corporal, and Private. The setting appears to be a sandstone memorial structure with columns, likely a Commonwealth war memorial.
