Studio portrait of 8100 Private Alfred Edgar Richards, 2nd Australian General Hospital (2 AGH), of Ashfield Sydney (originally of Launceston, Tas). A clothier prior to his enlistment in July 1915, he embarked for service overseas on HMAT Lincoln on 13 October 1915. By 1916 he was serving with the 13th Field Ambulance and subsequently attached to the 52nd Battalion. In September 1916 he was recommended for a Military Medal (MM) for attending wounded over two days under very heavy fire and whilst in the open at Mouquet Farm. On 27 March 1917 he was killed, aged 36, by shell fire near Vaulx when the Battalion was moving into the line near Bullecourt.
