Frederick joined The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry at Bodmin,
Cornwall, 1 Dec 1891. You can see clearly where his age had
been changed from 16 to 18 yrs old. Next of kin was left off.
He transfered to the Royal Field Artillery as a Driver and was
sent to India for three years. We have his Army Temperance Medals
from India. "Watch and Be Sober" is on the backside
of one medal. On his return to Leeds Chapeltown Barracks, he
was transferred to the 94th Battery RFA and sent to Clonmel,
Ireland, Dec 1899. He was completely discharged 30 Apr 1903.
Frederick and Mary Jane immigrated to Regina, Saskatchewan in
1912, with their two sons. Frederick joined the 46th Battalion
Canadian Over-Seas Expeditionary Force on 31 Mar 1915. He was
discharged Sep 1915 as medically unfit. Chronic Rheumatism in
legs and feet and unable to walk, the result of climatic conditions
and exposure whilst on Active Service. Frederick was given a
one year pension of $132 Cdn. They then moved to Port Arthur,
Ontario in 1916.
