Description
Studio portrait of 47 Private Thomas Anderson Whyte, 10th Battalion who was a 28 year old agent from Hyde Park, South Australia when he enlisted on 19 August 1914. He embarked for overseas from Adelaide on 20 October 1914 aboard HMAT Ascanius. He was wounded in action during the landing at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 and died that same day aboard HMT Gascon. Because he was buried at sea, his name appears on the Lone Pine Memorial at Gallipoli. One of 131 photographs displayed on an honour board showing members of the Adelaide Rowing Club who enlisted for active service in the First World War. The original is held by the Adelaide Rowing Club who kindly loaned the board to the Australian War Memorial for copying.
