This photo courtesy of Alf Austin, nephew of Pte Chillingworth, replaces the poorer quality version we had.

For ease of identification the rows have been split into three, all numbered from left to right as you view the photo. From top down there is a slight mix with some men in front of or behind others. These are merged below as one row, ie. Top row. The next 2 rows (middle and bottom) are straightforward for id.
