Description
Studio portrait of VX19453 Acting Sergeant (A/Sgt) Charles Cameron Irvine, 2/14 Battalion. Irvine, a farmer from Camberwell, Vic, enlisted on 30 May 1940. A/Sgt Irvine was killed in action at Papua on 28 November 1942, aged 23. He is buried in the Port Moresby (Bomana) War Cemetery, Papua New Guinea. This image is taken from "The Ivanarian", a magazine of the Ivanhoe Grammar School in Melbourne, Vic. During the Second World War the school honoured "old boys" who had enlisted and died by including a short biographical piece and in many cases a portrait.
