Where can I find photos of Australian Soldiers in WW1
« on: Thursday 19 February 15 02:36 GMT (UK) »
My grandfather Charles Edwin (Edward) Bruce 1896-1948, 57th Battalion AIF WW1.  Where would I be able to find photos please?  I have his war records but no photos.  He married in England in 1916

He also enlisted in WW2 and those records sometimes contain front and profile photos.  You would need to purchase a copy by following the 'request copy' links on the NAA website.

I got my photographs from www.awm.gov.au and then searched for the name.
