  • Frank originally enlisted on 8 Sep 1914 at Coventry at Pte 5450 10th Bn, Royal Warwickshire but was discharged on 13 Sep 1914 as being medically unfit (varicose veins)

Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)           

The 95th Company were in the front lines and supported two attacks by 95th Brigade in the days before he was wounded and therefore we cannot, with any certainty say whether he was wounded near Sandpits at Ginchy between the 17th to the 21st Sept or Morval between the 24th and 25th. No details at all of casualties are given in the war diary.
