Description
Portrait of James Martin, beside the Roll of Honour cloisters on the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War. James Martin, an 11 year old from Queanbeyan, shares the same name as 1553 Private (Pte) James Charles (Jim) Martin, who was the youngest Anzac to die on active service at the age of 14 years and ten months on 25 October 1915. A photograph of Pte Martin, who served with the 21st Australian Infantry Battalion, is held at P00069.001.
