Description
English: George Francis Reuben Nicklin

Frank Nicklin as a Corporal in the army. Inscribed on original: 'With much love, from Frank Nicklin-Australia.' (Description supplied with photograph.) George Francis Reuben Nicklin (1895-1978) enlisted in the AIF ( Australian Imperial Forces) on 5 May 1916 and joined the 49th Battalion on the Western Front in July 1917. Three months later he was promoted corporal. On 5 April 1918 at Dernancourt, France, he took charge when his platoon commander was killed, led his men bravely and won the Military Medal. Sent to England in June for officer-training, Nicklin was commissioned in January 1919 and promoted lieutenant in April. His A.I.F. appointment terminated in Brisbane on 16 September 1919.

After his discharge Nicklin started a pineapple farm at Palmwoods, Queensland, and took a leading part in the organisation of the Queensland fruit industry. He entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly in 1932 as the Country Party member for Murrumba. In 1941 he was elected Leader of the Queensland Country Party and he became Premier of Queensland in 1957. In 1968 he retired as Premier and was appointed KCMG (Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St. George), a reward for distinguished service.
