Description

Studio portrait of 5095 Private Thomas William Hinchliffe, 7th Battalion who was a 23 year old labourer from Piccaninny Creek via Gunbower, Victoria, when he enlisted and embarked for overseas with the 16th Reinforcements from Melbourne on 1 April 1916 aboard HMAT Suffolk. He joined the 57th Battalion in France on 22 July 1916, was wounded in action on 26 November 1916 and died of wounds the next day. Private Hinchliffe is buried in the Quarry Cemetery, Moutauban, 10 kilometres east of Albert, France. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had the 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.
