Soldiers waiting to board the troopship WARILDA

  I know one of the gentlemen in this photo (13th head from the right with moustache). He is my Great Great Grandfather Sapper Alfred Baldwin. Number 3942. Fought on the Western Front, returned to Australia 18th May 1918. He was 44 years and 3 months when he enlisted (one of the oldest?). I have many photos and letters from soldiers from Violet Town/Boho in northern Victoria.

"The Australians suffered six dead and four wounded — the first Australian military casualties of the First World War." And the AN&MEF - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Naval_and_Military_Exped...

  [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] beachcomber australia stop the press! Did some research on T D Cleary and this is what I found. In an exhibition catalogue written by former State Library NSW curator Alan Davies, he writes of a Thomas Cleary, who offered Sam Hood the Dalny Studio at 124 Pitt St in 1918. Though Sam had taken casual photos for the Sydney Mail, Cleary 'had a contract to regularly supply the Melbourne Argus and Australasian with Sydney photographs. Sam continued to fulfil the contract and, each week, from 1918 to 1940, a page of his photographs of sports events, social gatherings and Sydney scenery appeared in the Australasian'!!!!
