Frederick's Story

Allthough I have plenty of information about Fred, I did not know that he had been killed in action or in fact that he was a rifleman in the 21st London Regiment untill discovering and contacting an unknown cousin who gave loads of information about Frederick's short life.

He must have been very brave. My own son has since been out too France to find his grave and more about his regiment. We are extremely proud of him and keep him in our fondest thoughts particuarly at the time of rememberance. Frederick was my grandmother's brother's son.
