Biographical Notes
Frederick John Henshaw was the first-born of William Frederick and Mary Emma (née Campbell) Henshaw. He was educated at Mackenzie School, Canterbury, and Fendalton School, Christchurch. The 24th Reinforcements – F. J. Henshaw included - left Timaru for Trentham by the second express on 5 January 1917. They were entertained by the ladies of the Patriotic War Relief Society in Miss Read’s Stafford Tea Rooms. The 2nd (S.C.) Regimental Band was in attendance and Senior Cadets formed a cordon at the Strathallan Street crossing.
