It is not known when the first edition of this book was published but most likely it was it was before 1895. It comprised a series of photographs taken by Fry during his time with the Pioneer Column – very few of the originals exist. This second edition has the addition of an Introduction and Fry’s biography by Peter McGlaughlin. Also maps and nominal rolls of the Column and the Police Contingent. Published in a limited/numbered edition of 1000, in fact, because of the shortage of quality paper only 500 were printed – it is therefore a rare book in its own right and is worthy of a place on the shelves of all with an interest in the BSAP.
