The photograph was probably taken in Australia, pre-embarkation, sometime between 1915 and 1918.

Featured in the Memorial's 2008 exhibition Icon and Archive, the identity of this striking-looking man is not known and the Memorial had a lot of responses from people with possible identifications, none of which have been him.
