He was born at Up Cerne Dorset and joinrd the Dorset reg on the 30 Sep 1903 aged 18 yrs 6m reg no 6945 died at the Royal Victoria Hospital nr Southampton on the 13 Dec 1906 aged 23. He was in India between 28 Feb 1905 and 8 Dec 1906 but I believe he was also with the Kimberley Town Guard? Could this be possible and would there be any information available to confirm? Very many thanks.

Hello Mark,

And a warm welcome to the forum.

This would mean Frederick would have been 14 is there information you have with him relating to the KTG?

Cheers
