Studio portrait of 4146 Private (Pte) Edward Frank Maggs. Pte Maggs was a painter from Warracknabeal, Victoria prior to enlistment and embarked along with his older brother 4145 Pte Frederick Walter Maggs with the 10th Reinforcements, 24th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Wiltshire on 7 March 1916. Later wounded in the head he was evacuated to England and, after recovering, he rejoined his battalion and was gassed. He was again invalided to England and re-joined his unit after recovering. He and his brother returned to Australia on 29 May 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.
