    My Great Uncle i would like to know how you acquired this picture
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    Graham Jennings This photograph comes from The Queenslander newspaper, which published pictures of Queensland servicemen as they embarked for the First World War. Over the last 2 years, the State Library has been digitising all of these portraits - nearly 27 000. The image here in Flickr was created before this project and a better quality image is available on the State Library's website at hdl.handle.net/10462/deriv/396744 You can also download a high resolution version of the image for free. Please don't hesitate to get in contact again if you would like more information about this soldier, or have a story to share with us. You can contact us at discovery@slq.qld.gov.au

    I have also made a correction to the name in this image, from Blackman to Blackmann.
  • State Library of Queensland said:
    We believe that this serviceman, although identified as Thomas Blackmann in The Queenslander newspaper is actually Thomas Blackman (Service Number 3174) from Gayndah. His service record can be seen here: discoveringanzacs.naa.gov.au/browse/person/91198
