On Sunday, January 10, 1915, Captain Barnes recorded in his diary: ‘After Church this morning the whole Battalion was marched up to the Pyramid (Old Cheops) and we had a photo taken of at least several of them.’

Most of the 703 men who posed for this iconic image have never been identified and it is likely that this is the last photograph of many of them, Captain Barnes included. He was killed in the Dardanelles on 28th April, 1915.
