Studio portrait of 4224 Private (Pte) Thomas William Irvine. A farmer from Moe, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Irvine had previously been rejected due to bad teeth. After successfully enlisting he embarked with the 13th Reinforcements, 14th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Demosthenes on 29 December 1915. He was later evacuated to England after being seriously gassed. After recovering he re-joined his battalion and returned to Australia on 19 February 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. See also DA13219.
