Quite a striking picture, although I'm not sure, looking at the watch, if it is period or not?
But it does look nice

Hi John, the photos on that site are not period as such. They are very clever "photoshop" type compilations. He takes photos of original items and then merges them together to make the picture. The reason I know this is he approached me for permission to use some pictures of my stuff on the site Which I allowed. You can see some of my Soviet items there.
Cheers, Ade.
Very clever work. I have seen these before.
So was the watch was left in as a deliberate non-contemporary inclusion, just in case someone tried to palm off the photo as original ?

Hi Guys, here is a link to the site:
Digger History; (ANZAC)* Australia & NZ at War, a history
It is a bit tricky to navigate, as there is so much stuff on there.
I am sure the watch was left there deliberatly. The same basic figure is used for all the reconstructions.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
