Description
Studio portrait of 192 Sergeant (Sgt) Tom Roberts Louis Higgins, G Company, 4th Battalion, of Tamworth, NSW. Sgt Higgins enlisted on 17 August 1914 and embarked from Sydney aboard HMAT Euripides on 20 October 1914. He was killed in action on 26 April 1915 at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli Peninsula, aged 21 years. He is buried at Gallipoli 22 Shell Green Cemetery. 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.
