Five Australian army officers
A group of five Australian army officers photographed at an army camp; they are possibly members of the Medical Corps as indicated by Searcy's comment 'Good sawbones'. According to a researcher, the man standing left rear is Doctor Harry Nott, RMO (who was with the 10th Battalion AIF), with W. R. Cavenagh-Mainwaring to his left (assigned to the 3rd Light Horse). Both units were at the Morphettville Camp in 1914. The man seated in the centre is Frederick Goldsmith, surgeon (also appears in PRG 280/1/26/104). The three seated in the front row are all wearing pre-war peak caps (shiny leather visors) suggesting they are or were in the militia pre-war - so the the other two may have been with Goldsmith in the 3rd Field Ambulance ie Fry and Moodie.
