Studio portrait of 3487 Private (Pte) James William Donnison. A dairyman from Rosedale, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Donnison embarked with the 8th Reinforcements, 24th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Afric on 6 January 1916. He later transferred to the 8th Battalion and was invalided to England suffering from bronchitis. Due to the chronic nature of his illness he returned to Australia on 11 December 1918 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. See also DA13157.
