Description
Studio portrait of 186 Private (Pte) Frank Samuel Crowhurst, 10th Battalion who was a 26 year old salesman from Stepney, South Australia, when he enlisted on 20 August 1914. After embarking for overseas from Adelaide, South Australia on 22 October 1914 aboard HMAT Ascanius, he underwent further training in Egypt and then landed at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. He was killed in action that same day and is honoured on the Lone Pine Memorial at Gallipoli with those who have no known grave. One of 131 photographs displayed on an honour board showing members of the Adelaide Rowing Club who enlisted for active service in the First World War. The original is held by the Adelaide Rowing Club who kindly loaned the board to the Australian War Memorial for copying.
