Description
Studio portrait of 4244 Private (Pte) Wilfred Campbell Bailey, 11th Reinforcements, 29th Battalion, of Tamworth, NSW. Pte Bailey enlisted on 8 June 1916 and embarked from Sydney aboard HMAT Afric on 3 November 1916. He was killed in action in France on 23 March 1917, aged 28 years. He is buried at the France 756 Beaumetz Cross Roads Cemetery Beaunmetz-les-Cambrai. His brother, 50 Corporal Vivian Robert Bailey, 30th Battalion, also served with the AIF. He was killed in action on 23 March 1918. 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.
