my GG Uncle Frank died on 29 Sept 1918 and is buried at Underhill Farm Cemetary in Belgium - I have just been for a visit.
I am trying to find out all I can about him as I dont even have a picture! I have just bought Hull Pals and The Trench so think I should be able to trace his steps.
He married an Ethel Thirsk in 1914 who according to the 1911 census was living with Frank with 3 children, possibly his, as the youngest was called Frank B!
Any help with the military side of things much appreciated. Someone told me that Wenlock Barracks have records - is this right?
thank you all
