Pte Borneman enlisted on 7 July 1915 and embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Makarini on 15 September 1915. On 22 February 1916 he transferred to the 60th Battalion.

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.
