Images from the Phillip Schuler collection, both taken by and acquired by him.

Informal portrait of Australian journalist, Phillip Frederick Schuler, standing on the deck of a transport ship, probably HMAT Orvieto (A3). Schuler accompanied the 1st Australian Division of the AIF overseas as a war correspondent for The Age newspaper (Melbourne). Initially refused permission to land at Gallipoli, Schuler finally received accreditation and arrived on the peninsula in July 1915. After the failure of the Dardanelles campaign he returned to Australia and wrote two books on the Australian involvement: The Battlefields of Anzac and Australia in Arms. On 7 April 1916 Phillip Schuler enlisted as a driver (10926) in the 3rd Divisional Train, Australian Army Service Corps (AASC). He embarked from Melbourne on 3 June 1916 aboard HMAT Persic (A34). During his service Schuler was promoted to Lieutenant. He died of wounds in France on the 23 June 1917, aged 27. This portrait was possibly taken by Australian offical war correspondent, Charles Edwin Woodrow Bean, who travelled to Egypt with Schuler.
