Description
An Australian soldier in a trench at Gallipoli. Charles Bean, the Australian Official Historian, suggested that the subject of this photograph might be Lieutenant (Lt) (later Brigadier) Norman 'Darkie' Marshall, 5th Battalion, later with 60th Battalion. Enlisting as a Private, Lt Marshall rose to become a battalion commander by early 1917. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) with two bars and Military Cross (MC). In the Second World War he commanded 2/25 Infantry Battalion and later the 27th Brigade.
