Studio portrait of 4307 Private (Pte) Eugene Shields. An orchardist from Crowlands, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Shields embarked with the 13th Reinforcements, 5th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. Later wounded in action he was evacuated to England. Following his recovery he re-joined his battalion and was appointed as Lance Corporal. Subsequently wounded in the neck he was invalided to hospital and, after recovering, he again re-joined his battalion and was gassed. Re-admitted to hospital he suffered from scabies before returning to Australia on 14 May 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.
