Following on from Marilyn Kenny's story last month about the Troopship-Boonah-and-the-1919-influenza-epidemic we now have a cache of photos collected by Sergeant Norman Gillies of the Australian Flying Corps, who was on that voyage of the Boonah. These photos, courtesy of Maurice Austin, show scenes of the troops on board the vessel in 1918, and later quarantined on Torrens Island in 1919. Some individual portraits, not all identified, are included. Click here to see the entire set of photos.
