Studio portrait of 228 Private (Pte) Percy Bosworth, 21st Battalion, of Armstrong's, Victoria. A cellar hand prior to enlistment, Pte Bosworth embarked from Melbourne on HMAT Ulysses on 10 May 1915 for Gallipoli where he served until the battalion was withdrawn on 27 December 1915. The battalion was relocated to the Western Front, France, in March 1916. Pte Bosworth was killed in action on 26 August 1916 at Pozieres, France, and is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial. He was aged 23 years. 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.
