A draper’s assistant from West Hobart, Tasmania prior to enlistment, Pte Harvey embarked with the 15th Reinforcements, 12th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Ballarat on 19 February 1916. Subsequently hospitalised suffering from pleurisy he later re-joined his battalion. He was later awarded the Military Medal while voluntarily carrying messages as a runner between Company Headquarters and platoons with the utmost disregard for his own personal safety. Again suffering from pleurisy he was invalided to hospital. After recovering he was wounded in the left arm and invalided to England. He returned to Australia on 2 January 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.
