Subsequently wounded in action at Gallipoli, he returned to Australia. Following the loss of his attestation papers, he re-attested and re-embarked for overseas service with the service number 4389 with the 11th Reinforcements, 23rd Battalion from Melbourne on RMS Malwa on 23 April 1916. Later wounded in action he was invalided to England. Following his recovery he rejoined his unit. Wounded in action for the third time he was once again evacuated to England. Due to the severity of his wound, he returned to Australia on 26 September 1917 and was medically discharged. 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.
