Studio portrait of V66026 Private (Pte) Harold James Barry, 5 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps. A junior municipal clerk from Northcote, Vic, Barry enlisted on 27 May 1941. Pte Barry died of injuries in Australia on 27 January 1942, aged 18. He is commemorated at the Fawkner Crematorium, Victoria.
