Pre War
Frederick's connection to Letchworth may simply be that his parents moved there in 1917. The newspaper report in the Hertfordshire Express dated 24th November 1917, reveals this and gives us other information appearing here.
Wartime Service
He enlisted in September 1914, but he is liklet to have been on 'Home' service as he only went to France about 4-months before his death.
He was recorded as the officer's servant to Lieutenant Waterton, Captain Smith and others.
