A. Sinclair Thompson

A portrait of Captain A. Sinclair-Thompson who came out from Scotland and entered Canterbury Agricultural College in 1911. He received his education at Lovett’s School in Edinburgh. At the end of his second year he left College to take up farming in South Canterbury, in which occupation he was engaged at the outbreak of the war, when he immediately proceeded Home and joined the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders. He was a popular and a thoroughly efficient officer, and his untimely death in action brought to a close a very promising career. Source:  Canterbury Agricultural College Magazine, June 1917, p411.
