Description
Portrait of Frank V Dunn, probably 285 Private (Pte) Frank Vincent Dunn, a telegraphist from Ingelwood, Victoria, prior to enlistment. Pte Dunn embarked from Melbourne with the C Flight, No. 1 Squadron, Australian Flying Corps, aboard HMAT Orsova (A67) on 16 March 1916. Remaining in England in 1919, Frank Dunn married Rebecca Stavers in March, returning to Australia in December. 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.
