Studio portrait of 1973 Private (Pte) Oliver Richard Missen, 21st Battalion. A farmer from Beeac, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Missen embarked with the 3rd Reinforcements from Melbourne on HMAT Anchises on 26 August 1915. Later serving in France, he was wounded in action and evacuated to England. Whilst he was recovering in the Norwich War Hospital he became ill and, on 20 November 1916, aged 27, he succumbed to his illness and was buried in the Norwich Cemetery, England. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had the 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. See also DASEY1306.
