Original members of the Feilding Savage Club at the opening night in October, 1914. According to the Feilding Star, the club was formed to "encourage local talent, to foster art in any shape and form, and to provide rational entertainment for the Club members" (Feilding Star, 14 October 1914). Several prominent members of the community were involved in the club, including Mayor A. M. Ongley.
A group of young men and women on what appears to be a float at a Queen Carnival, a fundraising event that was quite popular in the early 20th century.
Judging by the uniforms shown, this photo was likely taken sometime during World War I. The banner reading "Freedom" contributes to this conclusion as well. However, the precise date of this photograph is unknown.
