Studio portrait of 3601 Private (Pte) William Thomas Scanlan. A labourer from Cobden, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Scanlan embarked with the 8th Reinforcements, 21st Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. He later transferred to the 60th Battalion and was invalided to England suffering from mumps and orchitis. Also suffering from bronchial catarrh and swollen ankles caused by exposure he returned to Australia on 23 May 1917 and was medically discharged. 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.
