Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives Accession Number: DA13706

Description

Studio portrait of Lieutenant (Lt) Stephen Llewellyn Hughes. A school teacher from Newtown, Tasmania prior to enlistment, Lt Hughes embarked with the 14th Reinforcements, 12th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Warilda on 8 February 1916. He was later evacuated to England suffering from shell shock. Also suffering from a valvular diseased heart, he returned to Australia on 16 October 1916 and his appointment was terminated. 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 DA13707.
