Description
Studio portrait of 2785 Private (Pte) George Henry Barrett, 9th Reinforcements, 8th Battalion, of Euroa, Vic. Pte Barrett enlisted on 5 July 1915 and embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Makarini on 15 September 1915. He later served as a Lance Corporal and returned to Australia on 21 March 1919. 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.
