Studio portrait of 63 Private (Pte) Harold Ernest Wright, 22nd Battalion, of South Yarra, Vic. Pte Wright enlisted on 15 February 1915 and embarked aboard HMAT Ulysses on 8 May 1915. He was killed in action on 22-23 September 1917 at Zonnebeke Ridge in Belgium.

The notebooks contain brief details, usually a surname or unit name, for each negative.
