This is so similar to many other wedding photos from this time – including of our family members! Nice that something so personal made it into the AWM collections!
Thanks annieinparis16 we do have lots of personal photographs in the collection, not just your ‘military’ sorts of photos (although of course we have a lot of those too!). Sometimes the personal photographs are followed by sadness as the soldiers did not return from war. I often think these photographs capture a lovely happy moment and this may be the last visual memory a family has. See this image for a photograph like that cas.awm.gov.au/photograph/P04495.004
