Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives
Description
Studio portrait of Armstrong W J, possibly 3168 Private (Pte) John William Armstrong, 14th Battalion or 1795 Pte Joseph William Armstrong, 29th Battalion. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had the concession to take photographs at the Broadmeadows and Seymour army camps during the First World War. In the 1930s, the Australian War Memorial purchased the original glass negatives from Algernon Darge, along with the photographers' notebooks. The notebooks contain brief details, usually a surname or unit name, for each negative.
