A group of uniformed men standing and sitting around around on a paved area. Most are wearing hats and shorts. The most prominent character is a Sergeant who stands in the centre of the image with his hands on his hip. In the background a civilian with a donkey walks away from the viewer. The Assyrian Levies, alternatively known as the Iraq Levies, was the first Iraqi military force established by the British in British controlled Iraq.
