Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives Accession Number: DA13141

Description

Studio portrait of 4326 Private (Pte) Lionel Haines. A labourer from Mathinna, Tasmania prior to enlistment, Pte Haines embarked with the 13th Reinforcements, 12th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Afric on 5 January 1916. He was later wounded in the right shoulder and evacuated to England. While recovering he contracted mumps and later re-joined his battalion in France. On 15 July 1917 he was killed in action and, having no known grave, is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial. 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.
