Capture of Hamel village, "Australian Comfort Fund", 4 July 1918, Page 4, World War I

About the original

Description

This image was scanned from a postcard in the personal papers of Lieutenant Colonel Brent B. Rodd of Newcastle, NSW, Australia, held by Special Collections in the University of Newcastle Library, NSW, Australia. It is from a collection by Lt. Col. Rodd, who served as a Major in the A.I.F. during World War I.

He served with distinction, being wounded at the Battle of Villers-Bretonneux in 1918. His efforts are mentioned in Bean's official history of World War 1.

This photograph, like many of the thousands of photos on our site, was scanned by a volunteer. When we have sufficient funds in the Vera Deacon Regional History Fund, we are able to give these wonderful people some paid employment.

If you would care to make a tax-deductible donation to this fund, please see http://libguides.newcastle.edu.au/benefactors/new for more information and a link to the donation form.

If you have any information about this photograph, please contact us.
