These two soldiers were father and son. The father is sitting. They both enlisted in the 1st AIF for service during World War One. They both served on the Western Front. The photo is a postcard sent home to the family early in 1917.

By the declaration of the Armistice in November, 1918, both had been killed. Their story was told from their war records and enabled the family to visit the two graves on the Western Front..
