Description
Page 28 of an album of photographs either taken or collected by Roy Cecil Phillipps (later Squadron Leader R.C Phillipps MC & Bar DFC) when employed by the pastoralist firm Connor, Doherty & Durack Ltd in the Kimberley region of Western Australia from 1912 until his enlistment in the AIF in April 1915. The photographs were sent to his mother in Perth, Mrs Cecil R. Phillipps, who arranged them in an album and wrote the accompanying captions. Images are of Aboriginal men in traditional war paint for corroboree (P08151.028.001, P08151.028.002, P08151.028.003 and P08151.028.005) and of a bare breasted Aboriginal woman showing her tribal chest scarring (P08151.028.004).
