Summary

A formal group photograph of South Australian army officers. Previously thought to be of officers during World War I, it seem likely that that is the S.A.I.R. (South Australian Infantry Regiment) officer group at Happy Valley Camp in 1911. The badges on their uniforms indicate a pre-1912 date; and is almost certainly part of the 10th Australian Infantry Regiment - a SA militia (reserve) unit. The commanding officer (front row, centre) is Frederick Henry Daniel (later Mayor of Mount Gambier); C.H.A. Lienert is 4th from right in the middle row; Edward Clyde Padman is to his left (3rd from right, middle row); and F.W. Hurcombe is second from right in the front row.
