Description
Studio portrait of 227 Private (Pte) James Thomas Carroll, A Company, 36th Battalion, of Tamworth, NSW. Pte Carroll enlisted on 22 March 1916 and embarked from Sydney aboard HMAT Beltana on 13 May 1916. He was killed in action on 1 June 1917 in France, aged 25 years. He is buried at the Belgium 451 Strand Military Cemetery Ploegsteert. 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.
