Studio portrait of Colonel [sic Captain] J G Mackey, possibly Captain (Capt) John Gilbert Mackay, a doctor from Broken Hill NSW. Captain Mackay’s attestation paper was not signed until 16 June 1916, however he signed an AMF Application for Commission in the AIF on 15 January 1916, stating that he was a Captain with the 20th Field Ambulance, 4th Military District. The Commonwealth Gazette of 8 November 1915 recorded that he was to be made a Captain (provisionally and temporarily) with the Australian Army Medical Corps (AAMC), 4th Military District. Aged 47, Capt Mackay embarked from Melbourne with the AAMC (Transport Duty), aboard HMAT Armadale (A26) on 19 July 1916 for the voyage only. He returned to Australia on 14 October 1916 and resumed his medical practice in Broken Hill. 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. The names are transcribed as they appear in the notebooks.
