Description

Studio portrait of 3519 Private (Pte) Percy James Glenister. A labourer from Horsham, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Glenister embarked with the 8th Reinforcements, 21st Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. He later served with the 60th Battalion and then the 58th Battalion where he was admitted to hospital suffering from trench feet. Following his recovery he transferred to the 57th Battalion and was admitted to hospital suffering from an undisclosed illness. He returned to Australia on 13 April 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.
