Race Against Time
Frederick Septimus Kelly, pianist, composer, Olympic gold medallist, World War I officer, diarist and Australian, was killed during the final battle of the Somme on 13 November 1916. He was 35. An expatriate long forgotten in his own country, he lived an extraordinary life in the company of some of Europe's most influential people. His diaries, covering the period 1907-1915, are held in the National Library of Australia.

Kelly's War
In this volume, historians Jon Cooksey and Graham McKechnie present the extraordinary story of Frederick Kelly, the musician, composer, and Olympic rower who was killed in action during the Great War. Frederick's war diary, written between 1914 and 1916, has never been published in its entirety and is a wholly unique document of the First World War.
Diaries of Frederick Kelly
MS 6050 comprises eight diaries (Oct. 1907 - April 1915) describing Kelly's daily activities as a composer and pianist, his exploits as a champion oarsman, and his service in the the Royal Naval Division in World War I. There are references to many leading musicians, writers, artists and political figures. The diaries record his training for the 1908 Olympic Games and the victory of the British eights crew, visits to Germany and France and a lengthy visit to Australia in 1911, his enlistment in the Army in 1914, and fighting at Gallipoli and in France. Typed transcript (incomplete) of the last diaries (Sept. 1914 - Nov. 1916) made by his friend Arthur Asquith, c.1920.
The Lost Olympian of the Somme
Impeccably detailed and beautifully written, The Lost Olympian of the Somme is the story of an Olympic gold medallist and forgotten war hero. Frederick Kelly's first-hand account offers a startling personal insight into the Great War and offers a unique look into the Royal Navy's Hood Battalion. An innovative new division of sailors that served on land as soldiers, Kelly's battalion included some of the leading artistic and intellectual minds of the day: The Hon. Charles Lister, Arthur 'Ock' Asquith (the Prime Minister's son), and the poet Rupert Brooke, whose final hours Kelly witnessed. Olympic champion, composer, pianist, intellectual and leader of men - this is Frederick Kelly's incredible story.
Formulating an Interpretation of Frederick Septimus Kelly's Violin Sonata in G Major Through an Assessment of the Performance Style of the Work's Dedicatee, Jelly D'Aranyi
This thesis presents interpretive and performance considerations for a violinist preparing Frederick Septimus Kelly's Violin Sonata in G major. The work's dedicatee, violinist Jelly d'Aranyi, is investigated, and her significance in relation to Kelly and his sonata established using sources including the composer's as of yet unpublished diaries. D'Aranyi's performance style is determined through analyses of her personal circumstances and recordings. This information is then applied to Kelly's sonata, with specific examples provided, thus, enabling a twenty-first century violinist to present the work in an informed manner.
