Francis Albert Vose served in the First World War in France. He was at Ypres and was in the trenches at Passchendaele. Went 'Over the top' three times.

His family were notified that he was missing between 21st and 27th March 1918 and then were notified he was a POW at Limburg on 31st May 1918. He spent time unloading scrap from railway wagons, escaped with another and, with help from Belgian and French people made their way to Calais. He was certainly there in October 1918.
