Description

Studio portrait of 2672 Private (Pte) Clive Lloyd Thomas Jones, 29th Battalion. A labourer from West Geelong, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Jones embarked with the 5th Reinforcements from Melbourne on HMAT Anchises on 14 March 1916. He was later wounded in action and, on 12 December 1917, aged19, he succumbed to his wounds and was buried in the Trois Arbres Cemetery, Steenwerck, France. 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.
