Informal portrait of 8040 Driver (Dvr) Charles Leslie Feore, 16th Battery, 6th Australian Field Artillery Brigade, of Malvern, Vic. He was a butcher before enlisting on 27 September 1915. He embarked from Melbourne on HMAT Botanist on 24 November 1915, with the 6th Battery of the 6th Australian Field Artillery Brigade.
