Studio portrait of 4629 Private (Pte) Alfred Charles Yates. A woollen mill employee from Ballarat West prior to enlistment, Pte Yates had been due to embark for overseas service with the 14th Reinforcements, 8th Battalion but had been medically discharged due to an insufficient chest measurement. Later re-enlisting he was again declared as medically unfit and was discharged on 29 November 1917. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had a concession 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.
