Description

Informal portrait of 4182 Sergeant (Sgt) Albert 'Barney' Clothier, an indigenous serviceman of Adelaide, SA, wearing his American Winter Cap. Sgt Clothier, who served in the Second World War, is a member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR). The Australian rising sun hat badge in the centre of his cap acts as a distinguishing mark, and is especially useful in this respect when American wind jackets and winter trousers are worn.
