Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives

Portrait of A R Fulton. Believed to be 3738 Private Arthur Rupert Fulton, 7th Battalion of Horsham, Vic. A grocer prior to enlistment, he embarked from Melbourne on HMAT Ceramic (A40) with the 12th Reinforcements on 23 November 1915. He later transferred to the 59th Battalion and was killed in action on 19 July 1916 during the Battle of Fromelles; he was aged 22 years. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had the concession to take photographs at the Broadmeadows and Seymour army camps during the First World War. In the 1930s, the Australian War Memorial purchased the original glass negatives from Algernon Darge, along with the photographers' notebooks. The notebooks contain brief details, usually a surname or unit name, for each negative. The names are transcribed as they appear in the notebooks.
