He was later appointed as Lance Corporal and hospitalised suffering from influenza. After recovering he rejoined his battalion and was promoted to Corporal and was invalided to England after being gassed. He was still recovering when the Armistice was declared and he returned to Australia on 25 January 1919. Two brothers, 6079 Pte Louis Senini and 6078 Pte Stephen Senini also served in the AIF. 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.
