When I heard about Peter Henning's public request in The Mercury for information to name the men in this photo, I put my thinking cap on. Considering that I already had a high resolution scan of the photo in my image database, I set about seeing whether I could name the men in the photo.
It turns out that I could name most of the men. Using the photos that I have collected for the Faces of Sparrow Force database, I have used advanced facial recognition computer software to identify many of the men in this photograph.
Over time, I will add other unit photographs as I manage to track down what happened to many of the Army mugshots of Tasmanian soldiers. Watch this space.
