Description

Studio portrait of 19795 Gunner (Gnr) James Arthur Grosvenor. A grocer’s assistant from Victor Harbour, SA prior to enlistment, Gnr Grosvenor trained at the AIF Signal School before embarking with the 30th Battery, 8th Field Artillery Brigade from Sydney on HMAT Medic on 30 May 1916. He later transferred to the 3rd Divisional Ammunition Column before transferring back to his original unit where he was admitted to hospital suffering from trench fever. Subsequently appointed as a Driver, he returned to Australia on 11 May 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.
