Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives Accession Number: DA13197

Description

Studio portrait of 3499 Private (Pte) James Redmond Delahunty. A labourer from North Bendigo Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Delahunty embarked with the 8th Reinforcements, 21st Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. Following his arrival in Suez he transferred to the 57th Battalion and was admitted to hospital suffering from neurasthenia. He returned to Australia on 24 June 1916 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.
