Description

Studio portrait of Stevens, probably3614 Private (Pte) Cyril Gordon Stevens. A printer from Bendigo, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Stevens embarked with the 8th Reinforcements, 21st Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. Later transferring to the 57th Battalion he was wounded in the right arm and left leg and invalided to England. Subsequently medically downgraded he was re-admitted to hospital suffering from orchitis. Following the Armistice he took the opportunity to get married and he and his bride returned to Australia on 27 September 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.
