Description
Studio portrait of 937 Corporal (Cpl) Walter Herbert Courtman, 5th Reinforcements, 1st Light Horse Regiment, of Tamworth, NSW. Cpl Courtman enlisted on 4 January 1915 and embarked from Newcastle on 22 May 1915. He died on 3 August 1916, and is buried at 34 Jerusalem Memorial Palestine. 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.
