Australian First –World – War photography Frank Hurley and Charles Bean

Abstract

On the twenty-sixth of September 1917, during the Third Ypres Campaign on the Western Front in Flanders, Frank Hurley and Charles Bean began a long argument about photographic verisimilitude. Captain Frank Hurley, one of Australia's newly appointed war photographers, wanted to combine several different negatives into a single battle tableau, and C. E. W. Bean, Australia's long-standing war correspondent and official war historian, prohibited it.
