Sarigol and Janes Military Cemeteries
In February 1921, 560 graves were brought into Sarigol from Janes Military Cemetery, a few miles to the north, and serving the same front. The cemetery at Janes was on low ground, and, under the normal conditions of this region, it was found difficult to approach and almost impossible to maintain in good order. With a few exceptions, the burials were made from 31st Casualty Clearing Station between August 1916 and October 1918.
Circumstances Leading to Death (Normally from War Diary)
The excellent Light Bobs website tells us that the War Diary for the time Frederick was wounded said:
"November 17th-22nd.—In Doldzeli trenches.
Enemy artillery active day and night. Our men busy repairing trenches, wiring, etc. Patrols constantly out at night; 6 men were wounded on the 18th; 1 killed and 3 wounded on the 19th; 3 killed and 14 wounded between the 20th and 22nd. A draft of 53 men joined from England".
Frederick was treated at 31st Casualty Clearing Station at Janes (between Sarigol and Doiran) where he died of his wounds. He was originally buried at Janes Military Cemetery (see above).
