Description
Studio portrait of 3687 Private (Pte) William Henry Bacon, 12th Reinforcements, 4th Battalion, of Walcha, NSW. Pte Bacon enlisted on 24 July 1915 and embarked from Sydney aboard HMAT Medic on 30 December 1915. He was killed in action on 22 July 1916 at Flers, France, aged 33 years. He has no known grave and is memorialised at Villers-Bretonneux Cemetery. This lantern slide is one of a series of images of soldiers from the district who enlisted and served overseas. The slides were probably displayed at the Tamworth Cinema between features. Some of the slides have been annotated with information about the person pictured.
