Robert Doyle in Trash Box
Image
Gag photo of Robert Doyle with his head seemingly sticking out of a box. Above the box is a sign that reads: "TRASH BOX." The box and sign are attached to a tree. A building with a sign "[?]O ADMITTANCE" above the door is behind him. Trees are in the background. The location was probably Camp Cable, near Brisbane, Australia. Printed on the box is "36 TINS 16 OZ. VEGETABLE SOUP, PICK-ME-UP [???????]ENT Co1[??], SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA," and on the supporting piece of wood, "TO BASE SECTION, ARMY EXCHANGE OFF[???], BRISBANE."
