Date: 1914-1916

By: Hogg, William Fergusson, 1883-1974

Reference: PAColl-5684

Description: Negatives and photographs relate to a relatively short period, probably 1914-1916. Most of them (all the half plate negatives and the prints) are family photographs, or were taken during military training in New Zealand. Though some of the family photographs may be earlier, most seem to date from after the outbreak of war as there are a number of formal groups which include men in uniform. Military training relates to Trentham and Featherston military training camps with views of men marching over the Rimutaka Road, and one of Fell engines and train on the Rimutaka incline. There is one negative of troops at Trentham station, and others of soldiers lined up beside trains and railway tracks. Life in camp, training, and formal group photographs of soldiers make up the rest of this part of the collection. All of the quarter plate negatives were taken on the trip from New Zealand to the war in Europe. They show that on the way, this batch of troops had time on leave at Perth, Western Australia, and Durban, South Africa. Among other images there are a number of negatives of soldiers posed among the columns and sculptures of the memorial to Cecil Rhodes at Durban. Arrangement: Negatives housed at 1/4-081263 to 081307; 1/2-180178 to 180242 Willam Fergusson Hogg was born at Bulls in 1883. He worked in commerce (Who's Who) for seven years before beginning to study law in 1909. In 1914 he is listed in Wises Post Office Directory at 7 Grove Road, Kelburn, and is described as a law student. The Kelburn address may be that of the house shown in those negatives depicting family groups. He was a Captain in the 1 NZEF from 1915 to 1919 during the first world war. After the war he continued in the legal profession becoming a partner in the firm Chapman, Tripp and Co in 1927. His professional carreer also involved being a Director of the Ford Motor Co New Zealand and of Kodak New Zealand. He was also vice presedent of The New Zealand academy of Fine Arts for a time, and also a commissioner of the National art Gallery.
