EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Australian poet C.J. Dennis (1876-1938) surrounded by friends, including J.G. Roberts, during a joyful moment amidst the turmoil of the First World War. The image is inscribed with various annotations, adding layers of intrigue to its history. The book "The Moods of Ginger Mick," by C.J. Dennis, published by Angus & Robertson Ltd. in Sydney, Australia, is visible on the table. The inscription on the bottom right reads, "Property of Ltn. (Cptn.) Leslie H. (Hamilton) Smith, 8th Bty. 3rd Brig. 1st Aus. Div. 3rd Army," indicating that it was a gift from J.G. Roberts, dated October 20, 1916. Another annotation on the back reads, "Picked up in a German dug-out near Bullecourt by Sgt, G.E. Attwood, 2nd London Regt. Royal Fusiliers, 56th Div." This suggests that the book may have changed hands during the war. A press cutting from October 20, 1916, and two printed caricatures of J.G. Roberts are also included in the photograph. "The Moods of Ginger Mick" was written during the early years of World War One when Australian nationalism was at its peak. The book, commonly known as "Ginger Mick," sold over 70,000 copies in its first four years, with a special pocket version for the troops being reprinted four times. This photograph and its annotations offer a glimpse into the history of this iconic Australian work and the men who carried it with them through the war.
