The Frederickson Photograph Collection

The Frederickson Collection comprises 8 photographs donated by Hugh Frederickson of people who meant a great deal to his father, Andrew Frederickson during the Great War.

From this group, three photographs can be readily identified and these are listed at the beginning of the album.

Sadly, the balance are now nameless faces until someone is able to identify them.

Listings in the Album:

A Knapsack Bible with a bullet hole

The "Knapsack Bible" was a popular gift for soldiers for use in South Africa 1899-1900. It was bound in Khaki and sold for 2/6d and was sent to the specific trooper by book post for 3d. Three Bibles are displayed in this collection.

During the Great War, 2450 Private James Benjamin COWAN received a Knapsack Bible from his mother. This Bible was originally sent to South Africa with 56 Trooper Peter Bruce RANKINE, who served with the 2nd South Australian Mounted Rifles. This is the Bible upon which most of the album bases its material.

Two other Knapsack Bibles are displayed to illustrate the widespread nature of the book. One was distributed by JH Angas and the other was sent to Trooper T Richardson of the Imperial Yeomanry
