Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives Accession Number: DA10009

Description

Studio portrait of 1271 Private (Pte) Alfred Oswald Binger. A labourer from Inglewood, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Binger embarked with D Company, 29th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Ascanius on 10 November 1915. He was killed by shellfire on 26 September 1917 near Fleurs, Belgium and buried near where he fell. Following the Armistice his remains could not be recovered and he is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial, Ypres, Belgium. 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 DA12161.
