Studio portrait of 4549 Private (Pte) Thomas Hildred Munro. A miner from St Helens, Tasmania prior to enlistment, Pte Munro embarked with the 14th Reinforcements, 12th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Warilda on 8 February 1916. He later transferred to the 52nd Battalion and was awarded the Military Medal for participating in the rescue of a number of wounded men at Mouquet Farm. On 17 October 1917 he was killed in action and, having no known grave, he is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres, Belgium. 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.
