Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives Accession Number: DA13807

Description

Studio portrait of 4055 Private (Pte) Charles Hanse Anderson. A chemist’s assistant from South Melbourne, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Anderson embarked with the 10th Reinforcements, 24th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Wiltshire on 7 March 1916. He later transferred to the 60th Battalion and was wounded in the right thigh. Due to the severity of his wound he returned to Australia on 17 March 1917 and was medically discharged. 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.
