Description
Studio portrait of 5163 Private (Pte) Clement Lindsay Martin, 1st Battalion from Conjola, NSW. An 18 year old farmer prior to enlisting on 29 November 1915, he embarked for overseas with the 16th Reinforcements from Sydney on 1 April 1916 aboard SS Makarini. After arriving in Egypt, he proceeded to France with the battalion only to receive a knee injury that required a period in hospital in England. On 1 January 1917, he rejoined the 1st Battalion in France where he was killed in action at Bullecourt on 5 May 1917. Pte Martin is commemorated on the Australian National Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux, France with others who have no known grave.
