A labourer from Lima East, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Gawley embarked with the 2nd Reinforcements, 29th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 October 1915. Later transferring to the 4th Pioneer Battalion he was allotted the service number 1716A and invalided to England suffering from a hernia. Following his recovery he remained in England and served with the Australian Army Medical Corps Details. He returned to Australia on 3 March 1919. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had a permit 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.
