Studio portrait of 4025 Private (Pte) Seymour Harrison wearing corporal’s stripes and may have been temporarily appointed to that rank. A labourer from Porepunkah, Victoria prior to enlistment, Pte Harrison embarked with the 9th Reinforcements, 24th Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Warilda on 8 February 1916. He was later invalided to England suffering from dermatitis and scabies. After rejoining his battalion he was appointed as Lance Corporal and was hospitalised suffering from synovitis in the right knee. He later served with the Machine Gun Details and then the 3rd Machine Gun Battalion before returning to Australia on 27 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.
