Studio portrait of Prisoner of War (POW) 286 Sergeant (Sgt) Albert Victor Thomas Green, 28th Battalion, from Perth, WA, probably taken prior to embarkation from Australia. Sgt Green enlisted at the age of 22 on 8 March 1915 and embarked for overseas on 29 June 1915 aboard HMAT Ascanius. Following service at Gallipoli, he went on to serve on the Western Front where he was wounded in the left leg and captured in France on 29 July 1916. He was held as a POW in Germany until repatriated to Switzerland on 12 December 1916. On 13 June 1917 he wrote from Interlaken, "I have been in hospital for the past six weeks and had had another operation. It is highly probable that I will have to undergo another operation as the leg is still very sore and inflamed internally. I hope to get well some day, though at times it is very trying." Sgt Green arrived in England on 13 September 1917 and arrived back in Australia on 4 February 1918. One of a series of over 400 photographs sent by Australian POWs in German camps to Miss M. E. Chomley, Secretary, Prisoners Department, Australian-British Red Cross Society, London. Original album housed in AWM Research Centre at RC00864, Album image number 236.
