Summary edit

Description
English: 22nd battalion waiting to board the troopship NESTOR, Kew, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, c. 1916. This black and white photograph depicts a group of soldiers standing and kneeling for their group portrait on a wharf. They are waiting to board the WW1 troopship NESTOR. A soldier at the back carries a flag reading `KI' and two soldiers in the front display a flag. The terminal appears behind the group and a steamship appears upper right. The reverse of the print has a handwritten inscription in pencil at the base reading: "NESTOR punch 4".

Two of the soldiers in the front row, far right, are identifiable by their kit bags. Francis Henry King (left) returned to Australia on 7 July 1919. John Michael Hassett (right) died at Bullecourt, France, on 3 May 1917 still serving with the 22nd. Read the story of John Michael Hassett here .
