not titled [tug boat on Suez Canal] Accession Number: ART90377.028

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. Bolton embarked from Sydney to London on HMAT "Runic" on 22 March 1918 and arrived London 24 May 1918. This sketchbook documents his brief service of four months.
