Studio portrait of 4566 Private (Pte) William Bertie Parker. Originally from Stowbridge, England, Pte Parker was a labourer from Surrey Hills, Victoria prior to enlistment and embarked with the 14th Reinforcements, 12th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Warilda on 8 February 1916. He later served with the 52nd Battalion and the Australian Employment Company and, shortly before the Armistice, he was invalided to England suffering from jaundice. After recovering he re-joined the 52nd Battalion and took the opportunity to marry and returned to Australia on 10 November 1919 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.
