Colour Sgt. Frederick Henry Weaving Military Police Corps (d.20th June 1918)

Frederick Weaving was born in Hammersmith in 1891, son of Thomas and Henrietta Weaving. The 1911 Census shows him living with his parents and siblings at 2 Apsley Terrace in Horn Lane, Acton, London. For a while he was employed by Acton Council in the Education Department as a clerk.

It is believed he initially enlisted with the British Army at Chiswick in November 1913 or January 1914 (possibly with the East Kent Regiment). He was Acting Warrant Officer with the 10th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment. In late 1917 he was serving in the Middle East as Colour Sergeant, Military Foot Police, Military Police Corps, with the Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force. At this time he contracted Malaria and in early June 1918 he was admitted to 31 BSH at Baghdad where further symptoms of Typhus appeared. On the 20th June 1918 he was transferred to the Isolation Hospital at Baghdad and died four hours later from Typhus. He is buried in the Baghdad (North Gate) War Cemetery in Iraq and is remembered on the War Memorial, St Mary's Church, Acton, London.
