L/Cpl. Frederick William Sandbach 1st/1st Cheshire Field Coy. Royal Engineers (d.25th September 1915)

We found a postcard years ago written from Fred Sandbach to my Grandmother, Molly Sandbach. He hoped she was being a good girl and behaving and going to bed well. He was her favourite brother and died when she was about 5 years old. We would never have even heard about him but for I found the postcard and asked.
We should commemorate such great sacrifice and we will continue to honour my Great Uncle Fred in our family. I was stunned whilst researching my Uncle Fred to find he was born in Nantwich, the place my family moved back to and my partner and family are all from. I had no idea we had such local connections.
