Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Artillery officers waiting to board the ULYSSES, Melbourne, by Melbourne photographer Josiah E Barnes. The photograph depicts a group portrait of seven artillery officers standing in a row underneath the terminal waiting to board the WWI troopship ULYSSES. They wear the full military uniform and three of them carry white canes. Other soldiers appear on the wharf behind them. The reverse has a handwritten inscription in pencil at the center that reads: "ULYSSES 13 artillery officers".These men may be officers of the 2nd Field Artillery Brigade who embarked on HMAT ULYSSES on 25 October 1916.

A bag in the backgroun (left, seen between the shoulders of the two men on the left) has the service number 5852 and the word 'miners' printed on it. This bag is probably that of Herbert Horton Tomb who was a sapper with the tunnelling companies and left Melbourne on ULYSSES 25/10/1916.
Josiah Barnes' two sons, Norm and Victor, left for war in 1916 (both returned to Australia after their service). Barnes appears to have taken an interest around this time in photographing the troopships as they departed for war from Melbourne.
