Darge Photographic Company collection of negatives

Portrait of Storrer, probably Captain (Capt) Henry Haigh Storrer. An accountant from Geelong, Victoria prior to enlistment, Capt Storrer embarked with Headquarters, No. 2 Squadron from Melbourne aboard HMAT Ulysses on 25 October 1916. Capt Storrer was killed in action in France on 2 December 1917. This is one of a series of photographs taken by the Darge Photographic Company which had a 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. The names are transcribed as they appear in the notebooks
