Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force, 1915
Taken at the Liverpool Camp, NSW
These men were from the 'Victorian Quota' of the Australian Naval and
Military Expeditionary Force which was formed quickly in 1914 and
dispatched to Rabaul, New Britain, to seize and destroy German wireless
stations in the south–west Pacific. Private James Cason Livesay is
seated at far left of the middle row. Any further identifications would
be welcome. James left Victoria in December or November (his
enlistment date and embarkation in his records date are incompatible!),
and returned to Victoria in December 1915 at the termination of his
engagement. Photo courtesy of Geoff Haynes.
I am a community historian (ie, not paid) from Essendon. The content of my Empire Called database (see the link to the PBWorks website) is the result of nearly 25 years' research. The Empire Called blog is a companion for the PBWorks website of the same name.
Time Travellers in Essendon and Flemington is set up in the same way, with a website and a blog to report additions to the website. The website is a vehicle to publish longer pieces of research that are too long for newsletters, various indexes, and photos of local history interest. You may find something of use for your research.
