Studio portrait of 1858 Private (Pte) Edward Campbell. A labourer from Swan Hill, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Campbell enlisted in Melbourne but, for unspecified reasons, embarked with the 2nd Reinforcements, 31st Battalion from Brisbane on HMAT Kyarra on 3 January 1916. Later wounded in action he was evacuated to hospital. Following his recovery he transferred to the 46th Battalion and was accidently injured and again admitted to hospital. Subsequently suffering from debility he was invalided to England. He later re-joined his battalion in France and returned to Australia on 5 April 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.
