Description

Portrait of Noel Higham probably 295 Private (Pte) Noel Higham, a clerk from Carlton, Victoria, prior to enlistment. Pte Higham embarked from Melbourne with the C Flight, No. 1 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, aboard HMAT Orsova (A67) on 16 March 1916. He returned to Australia on 22 August 1919. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had a concession to take photographs at the Broadmeadows and Seymour army camps during the First World War. In the 1930s, the Australian War Memorial purchased the original glass negatives from Algernon Darge, along with the photographers' notebooks. The notebooks contain brief details, usually a surname or unit name, for each negative. The names are transcribed as they appear in the notebooks.
