Studio portrait of Captain (Capt) Robert Grieve Woods. A medical practitioner from Albury, NSW prior to enlistment, embarked with the Medical Officers Reinforcements from Melbourne on HMAT Orsova on 16 March 1916. Following his arrival in the Middle East he transferred to the 14th Army General Hospital and then to the Australian Mounted Division Headquarters. Subsequently serving with AIF Headquarters he was hospitalized suffering from malaria. Later promoted to Temporary Major, he returned to Australia on 29 April 1919. 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.
