Description

Studio portrait of 3838 Private (Pte) John Frederick Good. A draper from Perth, WA prior to enlistment, Pte Good embarked with the 9th Reinforcements, 28th Battalion from Fremantle on HMAT Miltiades on 12 February 1916. He subsequently transferred to the 51st Battalion and was appointed as Temporary Corporal. Later suffering from conjunctivitis he was admitted to hospital. After re-joining his battalion he was promoted to Sergeant and was briefly hospitalised suffering from synovitis of the right knee. On 17 July 1917 he was killed in action and buried in the Messines Ridge British Cemetery, Flanders, Belgium. 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.
