Description
Studio portrait of VX29801 Bombardier (Bdr) Francis Cedric (Frank) Brock, 2/4 Field Regiment. A clerk from Ivanhoe, Vic, Brock enlisted on 28 June 1940. He was wounded in action in July 1941. On 10 July 1945 at Balikpapan, Borneo, Bdr Brock took charge of his troop following the wounding of his captain. He was then killed in action, aged 23, and is buried at the Labuan War Cemetery, Malaysia. This image is taken from "The Ivanarian", a magazine of the Ivanhoe Grammar School in Melbourne, Vic. During the Second World War the school honoured "old boys" who had enlisted and died by including a short biographical piece and in many cases a portrait.
