The Brigade arrived at Brocton Camp in September 1917 for training purposes. Freda was then about 2 years old.
As a mascot Freda would take part in parades and was a familiar sight around the camp. Freda survived the war but died in December 1918 and was buried at Brocton Camp. The New Zealanders were based at Brocton Camp until the Rifle Brigade was disbanded in 1919.
