Studio portrait of 5622 Sapper (Spr) George Thomas Smith, 2nd Australian Tunnelling Company. A tanner of Oatlands, Tas, Smith enlisted on 18 April 1916 and embarked with the October reinforcements of the Australian Tunnelling Corps from Melbourne, Vic, aboard HMAT Ulysses (A38) on 25 October 1916. In May 1917 he was admitted to hospital suffering from mumps. He was killed in action on 27 June 1917 at Nieuport, Belgium aged 40 and Reverend Donald Macleod conducted the funeral service. He is buried at the Ramscappelle Road Military Cemetery, St Georges, Belgium. This is a black and white portrait, copied in colour to show the blue and white text and the Union Jack flag on the mounting board.
