Studio portrait of 4862 Private (Pte) James Charles Marshall and an unidentified soldier. A railway porter from Alphington, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Marshall embarked with the 15th Reinforcements, 14th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Anchises on 14 March 1916. He later transferred to the 46th Battalion and was hospitalised suffering from exposure. After rejoining his unit he was killed in action at Messines on 9 June 1917 shortly before his 18th birthday and was buried in the River Douve Cemetery, Belgium. His remains were later recovered and re-interred in the Messines Ridge British Cemetery, Flanders, 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.
