Frederick is listed as being killed in action of 21st April 1917 at the . The following is an extract from the Internet Archive book History of the 8th Gurkha Rifles 1824 to 1949 by Lt-Colonel H.J. Huxford, OBE of the 8th Gurkha Rifles (click here for the book). "During the night of 19th/20th April, 1917, the 21st Indian Infantry Brigade moved forward and occupied a line astride the Dujaila Canal, a considerable obstacle, twenty to twenty-five feet wide, with a six-foot depth of water, and with banks rising in places to forty feet. This line, about one mile distant from the Turkish positions, was strengthened by us with a series of strong points. On 21st April, 1917, at 5.5 a.m. the advance began, the objective of the 21st Brigade being the left of the Turkish position—that portion between the canal and the Tigris. The 1/8th on the right, and the 2nd Black Watch on the left, led the attack, with 9th Bhopals in support in right rear of the 1/8th. 20th Punjabis were in Brigade reserve. The Battalion advanced in two lines, A Company (Lieutenant B. P. T. O’Brien) and B Company (Captain Mullaly) leading, followed by C Company in rear of A and D Company in rear of B Company. Rapid progress was made. The first two enemy lines were captured with 200 prisoners. Captain Mullaly, leading the foremost line, stormed the main Turkish position, but was immediately killed by a bomb". |
