RM019 - Ernest Heeger as a cadet before WW1
Can anyone assist with any further information. This photograph has been reproduced from a glass plate negative and taken in the Hunter Region of NSW.
It is most likely he is Ernest Heeger, see RM013, RM023, IMG148, IMG149.
The uniform is Australian and is circa 1910-12. The hat badge is IX which would make this soldier
a member of 9th (Logan & Albert) Infantry from Queensland.
The belt he is wearing is the larger cadet style belt and he is wearing his shirt tucked in. He
may be a cadet. Judging by his youth, this is likely.. He is also wearing the brown boots which
the AIF later wore during 2 World Wars.
