Summary

[On back of photograph] 'Immigrant farm apprentices under the Barwell scheme.' [General description] A large group of young men is posed for the photographer in front of a brick building. This scheme, implemented in 1922 by the then Premier Sir Henry Barwell, involved bringing young men from Britain (where unemployment was high) into South Australia to be indentured to farmers, to replace the 6000 South Australians killed in World War I. The caption reads '"Ballarat" Boys. 17-12-23'.
