Description
Studio portrait of 499 Private (Pte) James Frederick Buckland, 19th Battalion, of Kogarah, NSW. Pte Buckland enlisted on 2 March 1915 and was killed in action before the "second barque" on the Somme, France, on 14 November 1916. He had previously served in the Militia. This portrait of Pte James Buckland is one of a number displayed on a photo montage Honour Board made for the department store Anthony Hordern and Sons Ltd, Sydney by the returned soldier and sailor employees of the company. It commemorated 46 of the company's 48 employees who died as a result of their service in the First World War. 499 Pte Buckland worked as an iron moulder at Anthony Hordern prior to his enlistment. (His brother, a pre-war cadet, 4076 Pte John Thomas Buckland, also served with him in the same company of the Battalion and he was killed in action at Polygon Wood, Belgium, on 10 October 1917).
