Description

Studio portrait of 1899 Private (Pte) William Murdoch Flower, 3rd Reinforcements, 22nd Battalion, of Branxholme, Vic. Pte Flower enlisted on 28 January 1915 and embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Anchises on 26 August 1915. He returned to Australia on 8 April 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.

The notebooks contain brief details, usually a surname or unit name, for each negative.
