Portrait of an unidentified soldier and an unidentified boy [inscribed Mr G Higgs], Berry & Co, photography studio, 1918, Wellington, Typically, the family portraits in the Berry & Co collection feature a soldier husband, wife and children, mostly commonly a baby or toddler. This perhaps reflects that fact that the military favoured younger men, and that older, married men with families only began to be recruited or conscripted later in the war. As such this simply portrait of an older soldier and boy is unusual.
