Description
Studio portrait of 585 Private (Pte) Garrett Irwin, B Company, 20th Battalion, of Tamworth, NSW. Pte Irwin enlisted on 12 March 1915 and embarked from Sydney aboard HMAT Berrima on 25 June 1915. He was killed in action on 31 December 1916 at Flers, aged 34 years. He is buried at France 374 Guards Cemetery Lesboeufs. 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.
