Reference: PAColl-5684

Description: Negatives and photographs relate to a relatively short period, probably 1914-1916. Most of them (all the half plate negatives and the prints) are family photographs, or were taken during military training in New Zealand. Though some of the family photographs may be earlier, most seem to date from after the outbreak of war as there are a number of formal groups which include men in uniform. Military training relates to Trentham and Featherston military training camps with views of men marching over the Rimutaka Road, and one of Fell engines and train on the Rimutaka incline. There is one negative of troops at Trentham station, and others of soldiers lined up beside trains and railway tracks. Life in camp, training, and formal group photographs of soldiers make up the rest of this part of the collection. All of the quarter plate negatives were taken on the trip from New Zealand to the war in Europe. They show that on the way, this batch of troops had time on leave at Perth, Western Australia, and Durban, South Africa. Among other images there are a number of negatives of soldiers posed among the columns and sculptures of the memorial to Cecil Rhodes at Durban.
