I'm sure you're already aware of his Australian Army papers, which includes an eye-witness account of his death. recordsearch.naa.gov.au/scripts/Imagine.asp?B=3091396 His father Aaron seems to have been very active both as a businessman and philantrhopist. www.oztorah.com/2010/07/jewish-scholarship-in-sydney-betw... (There are a number of registrations of patents in his name in the Australian National Archive). He features in this family tree leightonromanisfamily.com/getperson.php?personID=I1410&am... His death was announced in the Tuesday 14th August edition of the The Melbourne Argus. (It looks like father Aaron is described as a J.P.) trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/1642744 Finally, his headstone, www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=135594...

I seem to have an official copy of this exact photo. My one is cropped slightly different, showing more on the bottom and right of the photograph. The far right has a sign "TO LEFT BRIGADE SECTION". The top is trimmed the the height of the top of the first piece of hession on the far left. The back of the photo has stamped on it "Australian Official Photo No........" with the number E1889 hand written. "Purchased from Australian War Museum, Wool Exchange, King Street, Melbourne, COPYRIGHT, Prosecution will follow infringement. I also have a number of other photos relating to WW1 with the same stamp. Each photo has a typed description of the photo on the reverse. In the case of this particular photo above, the description reads as follows... "E1889 "Hellfire Corner" on the Menin Road, in the Ypres sector, in Belgium, on September 27th, 1917. This well-named locality was continually under observation, and notorious for it's danger; the neighbourhood was piled with the wreckage of all kinds of transport. A "sticky" spot that was always taken at the trot." I hope this is helpful to interested people.
