In order to try and tell the story of Frederick’s life as fully as possible, a request has been submitted to the Ministry of Defence for a copy of his Service Record.
Due to the exceptionally high volume of requests that the Ministry are currently receiving, it looks as if it will be the end of this year (or later) before a copy of the document is released.
It is hoped to include Frederick’s story here, at some point during 2025. In the meantime, if you would like further information about Frederick’s life then please feel free to get in touch.
