Studio portrait of 4330 Private (Pte) Arthur Joshua Inches. A farmer from Dover, Tasmania prior to enlistment, Pte Inches embarked with the 13th Reinforcements, 12th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Afric on 5 January 1916. He later accidently fractured his left fibula and was invalided to England. Following his recovery he re-joined his battalion and was wounded in the head. After recovering he again re-joined his battalion and was wounded in the right arm and again evacuated to England. He was still recovering when the Armistice was declared and he returned to Australia on 9 February 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.
