Biography
One Frederick Baines died and is recorded on the Village War Memorial. The School War Memorial records two more: Frederick and Frederick John Baines, so both attended the school and the memorial records that both survived the war.
Frederick John Baines, was the son of Thomas and Mary Baines (née Hodson) married in Pirton, but they were living in Pegsdon when Frederick John was born on August 4th 1893. The census reveals that they had returned to Pirton by 1901 and lists no other siblings. At the outbreak of war (his birthday) he was twenty-one years old.
