Studio portrait of 1134 Bugler Henry Walter Seymour Dumbrill, 10th Battalion, of Semaphore, SA. An engineer's apprentice before enlisting in October 1914 at the age of 16 years and eleven months, Bugler Dumbrill was a pre-war member of the 77th Battalion Military Cadets and left Australia for Egypt with the 1st Reinforcement in December 1914. He spent two months on Gallipoli before being evacuated with influenza, and rejoined the battalion in England in February 1916. Arriving in France for service on the Western Front in July 1916, Bugler Dumbrill was killed in action at Mouquet Farm on 23 August 1916, aged 18.
