Studio portrait of 2510 Private (Pte) Hugh Albert Louis McKean. A stockman from Red Hill, Queensland prior to enlistment, Pte McKean embarked with the 4th Reinforcements, 31st Battalion from Melbourne on HMAT Anchises on 14 March 1916. He was later hospitalised suffering from bronchitis. Due to the chronic nature of his illness, he returned to Australia on 27 August 1917 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.
