Studio portrait of J Campbell, possibly 4749 Private (Pte) James Campbell. A stoker from Albury, NSW prior to enlistment, Pte Campbell embarked with the 15th Reinforcements, 8th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Wiltshire on 7 March 1916. He later transferred to the 60th Battalion and was wounded in the forehead and left leg. Due to the severity of his wounds he returned to Australia on 9 September 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.
