Picture
This is AIF 1: four soldiers, one in cannon. Nothing on back. Loose in album; quite badly damaged.

NB: all these photos can at least be dated by the period of Dave's service: they're in the range 27.7.1915 (enlistment) to 19.2.1919 (death). As far as places go, the AIF Project says, "War service: Egypt, Western Front"
