Joseph Robert Jenneson Service No. 125

Discovered inside a small Kodak photograph wallet, this remarkable collection of negatives and photographs traces the wartime journey of Joseph Robert Jenneson, Service No. 125, one of the original men of the 3rd Field Company Engineers of the Australian Imperial Force. Born in Ross, Tasmania, and residing at 180 Princess Street, Port Melbourne, Jenneson worked as a fitter before enlisting on 27 August 1914, only weeks after Australia entered the First World War.
