Studio portrait of 4332 Private (Pte) Bernard John Watt and an unidentified soldier (positions unknown). A farmer from Mirboo, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Watt embarked with the 13th Reinforcements, 7th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. Later transferring to the 60th Battalion he was wounded in the right thigh and evacuated to England where he contracted laryngitis and influenza. Following his recovery he re-joined his battalion and was wounded in the right shoulder. Due to the severity of his wound he returned to Australia on 20 October 1918 and was medically discharged. 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.
