Description
Studio portrait of 1141 Private (Pte) James Andrew Herbert Heyman, 1st Reinforcements, 2nd Battalion, of Nundle, NSW. Pte Heyman enlisted on 1 October 1914 and embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Themistocles on 22 December 1914. He was killed in action on 20 May 1915 at Anzac Cove, aged 32 years. He is buried at Gallipoli 7, Lone Pine Cemetery, Turkey. This lantern slide is one of a series of images of soldiers from the district who enlisted and served overseas. The slides were probably displayed at the Tamworth Cinema between features. Some of the slides have been annotated with information about the person pictured.
