Studio portrait of, left to right, Edward, William and James Short. The sons of Charles Augustus Short and Mary Short (nee Stevenson), the brothers were registered in the 1841 England Census as living in the Civil Parish of St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, London with their parents and five other siblings. The eldest, Staff Sergeant Major William Short (born 5 July 1833) and his brother, Corporal Edward Short (born 14 January 1935) travelled to Australia in the 40th (2nd Somersetshire) Regiment of Foot under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas James Valiant aboard H.M. steam ship Vulcan, disembarking in Port Phillip on the 4th and 5th of November 1852. The regiment constructed Victoria Barracks in Melbourne and was subsequently involved in the Eureka Stockade rebellion on 3 December 1854. William Short went on to marry Jane Templeton Kernahan in 1855, in Melbourne, Victoria, and died on 4 October 1862, aged 29. Edward Short married Marion Archibald in Melbourne in 1856. He departed Melbourne for New Zealand in 1860 and served in the New Zealand Wars as a Colour Sergeant (service number 3152) with the 40th Regiment of Foot as a clerk with the Commissariat Department attached to Her Majesty's Imperial Force. Edward Short left the Regiment prior to its return to England in 1866, and settled with Marion and their children in New Zealand permanently. He died in 1895 aged 60. James Short (born 2 January 1837) travelled as an emigrant to Australia, arriving in Melbourne aged 21 on 22 January 1860 aboard King Of Algeria. He married Euphemia Weir and lived the remainder of his life in Melbourne, dying in South Yarra on 14 July 1879, aged 42. This print is believed to be an early 20th century copy of the original photograph.
