Description
Studio portrait of 229 Private (Pte) Percy William Waite. A drover from Wodonga, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Waite was due to embark with the 10th Battalion but was declared medically unfit and discharged on 26 February 1916. 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.
