Email received 23 July 2014: "This is a picture of Samuel Thomas Knaggs (also known as Maiben Brook) and he is listed in the Australian Dictionary of Biography. He was a medical doctor in Newcastle (as was his father, Robert Corbet Knaggs who was also a publisher producing Knaggs Nautical Almanac, the Newcastle Business Directory and other publications and charts) and later practised medicine in Sydney and was a lecturer in clinical surgery at the University of Sydney. In 1901 he went to Japan and practised medicine in Kobe for a number of years, hence the photo. He was instrumental in setting up the St. John Ambulance scheme in Newcastle (see St. John History, Volume 13, pages 29 and 30 where you will find another photograph of him. A record of some of his pamphlets and books can be viewed at Australian Dictionary of Biography. I hope this information will be of use to your organisation. Jenny Boesen."
