What it is
A colour lithograph Harry J. Weston drew for Australian recruiting in 1915, 92 by 60 cm, from the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
The hill of the title is Gallipoli, where Australian troops landed in April 1915, made into a reason to enlist.
What to notice
The title stands in quotation marks, spoken by the men already there.
A hill held, and a hand held out.
