Description
Studio portrait of 156 Private (Pte) John Styles, 1st Australian Remount Unit from Grassdale, Victoria. A 30 year old plumber prior to enlisting on 14 September 1915, he embarked for overseas with the 1st Squadron from Melbourne on 12 November 1915 aboard HMAT Orsova (A67). After serving in the Middle East, he returned to Australia on 29 August 1919. The handwritten note on the reverse of the image reads “This is a chap in our tent his name is J Styles generally known as “Nugget”. He is a very good hearted little chap you can guess his size he is about four feet nothing.” [According to his service record, Pte Styles was four feet eleven inches on enlistment.] This is one of a series of 17 images relating to the service of Private Clarence Albury Hickman.
