One man is Eric Baume, Australian correspondent and London Bureau Chief for Truth Newspapers. The other is Edward Chichester, the 6th Marquess of Donegall, ace reporter for the London Sunday Dispatch. A helmet is attached to the grill of the jeep with the name, "T.S. Rat" stenciled on it. Power poles and lines are in the background.
