Historical information
This image was bought in an Op shop in Melbourne around 1980. It had no other identification other than the name of the photographic studio.
The image has a collar badge and sergeants stripes added at a later stage. This possibly suggests the photo was taken at the time of enlistment, and the soldier died, leaving the family to make additions to the photograph.
