Description
Depicts a tug boat docked, with a light house on the coast in the middle distance. Inscription on previous page suggests notation was made some time after the fact, perhaps when the artist had returned to England: "(Opposite) was in the Suez Canal, I think".
Frederick enlisted 5 January 1918 in Sydney, New South Wales. He was posted to the Field companies Engineers, 1st Draft Reinforcements, as a surveyor and draftsman.
