St Mary's Church Roll of Honour (Book), Hitchin
Pre War
He was in the 2nd Battalion according to the Lawson Thompson Scrapbooks, now held in Hitchin Museum, but is not mentioned anywhere in the ‘Soldiers died’ database as having been born, enlisting or residing in Hitchin. and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission have no ‘F.A. Sharp’ in their records which suggests that he may have died after having been discharged from service.
A newspaper report mentions an F. Sharp having been recruited into a Bantam Battalion of the Lancashire Fusiliers but again there is no mention of him in the Regimental volume of ‘Soldiers rued’. Paul Johnson records him as a Private in the Royal Fusiliers and that he was a prisoner of war in April/May 1918.
