Frederick Joseph Anderson British Army 15th Battalion Durham Light Infantry from:138 Back High Street, Sunderland (d.31 March 1918) Fred was the twin brother of my grandmother Edith Walker nee Anderson. They were born on 16th March 1891. He enlisted in the DLI 15th Battalion at Newcastle-upon-Tyne on 28 February 1916. My husband and I studied movements of 15th Battalion DLI at Durham Records Office. The Battalion was billetted at Frechencourt (12kms north of Amiens)on the Somme on night of 30th March 1918. They moved to nearby Allonville (8kms north of Amiens)on 31st March 1918, the fateful day when Fred was Killed-in-Action. By then he was aged 27yrs 15 days. He has no known grave but is remembered with honour on the Pozieres Memorial. Sadly, none of the family possess a photo of Fred.
