    Administrative / Biographical history

    James Francis (Frank) Hurley (1885-1962) joined the Australian Imperial Force in August 1917 as official photographer, with the rank of honorary captain. His images of war, taken in France, Belgium and Palestine, reflect his horror at the carnage and destruction he witnessed.

    The Alfieri Picture Service was a London firm run by photographer Bernard Alfieri (1860-1939).
