In 1913 he applied for copyright of the book of images 'Best Wishes From Tasmania'. His application to join the Australian Imperial Force was unsuccessful. William, born 1870, was the eldest son of the eight children of Hobart couple gardener William Little and Jane Waters. William married Amy Ella Harwood, b.1880, in 1912. They lived at 8 Liverpool Street, Hobart. Amy died three years later. William died in 1924 aged 54 and is buried at Cornelian Bay Cemetery.;;More photographs of Tasmania printed on postcards (real photo postcards) by W L Little can be found in the State Library holdings.
