'Faces from a War'
World War One Gallery 2 This page contains images for the names Bragg to Crago The photographs are arranged alphabetically in galleries that can be keyword searched (Control + F and enter keyword). Where identification has been possible basic information is included - surname, forenames, rank, service number, final unit and fate ie returned to Australia (RTA), KIA (killed in action), DOW (died of wounds), DOS (died of illness) UNK (unknown) Should you wish to seek further information on World War One service personnel please consult the National Archives of Australia for Personnel Dossiers and the Australian War Memorial for other biographical information. Important note A word of caution.
Most of the Howard and Shearsby images are taken from glass negatives,
some of which had been damaged before they were taken into the Society's
collection. The images have been copied as they appear - some mounted
on timber, others show significant damage but are largely intact. Every
effort has been made to identify individuals but this has been problematic.
Names have, in most cases, been etched into the reverse of the negative
but it is believed that the individual named may not always be the subject
pictured. There are also number of unidentified images. Information as to the identity of the individuals will be greatly appreciated - ww1images@yasshistory.org.au. Copies Copies of the images may be purchased from the Society for personal use and research purposes. Please see http://www.yasshistory.org.au/archives.htm.
