Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives

Group portrait of Judell and two unidentified servicemen on horseback. Judell (left) is probably 213 Quartermaster Sergeant (QMS) Elias Max Judell, B Squadron, 9th Light Horse. A storekeeper from South Australia prior to enlistment, QMS Judell embarked from Melbourne aboard HMAT Karroo (A10) on 11 February 1915. He was killed in action at Gallipoli on 9 August 1915. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had a permit 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. (See also DAOD0582)
