Historical information

The soldier on the far right was identified as John Laurie, who served in the 9th Reinforcements 16th Battalion in 1914-15. He lived in Collie and worked as a miner. He died in 1928 in a mine accident.
From the insignia shown on the front of their hat this would date the photo as having been taken some time during the period 1912-1918.
