Rflmn. Frederick Martin Barratt
British Army 7th Btn. Kings Royal Rifle Corps

(d.10th Jul 1917)
Frederick Barratt served with the Kings Royal Rifle Corps 7th Battalion. He was executed on 10th July 1917 aged 23 and is buried in Louvencourt Military Cemetery, Louvencourt, France.
The private, suffering from severe shell shock, was examined by a doctor, who recommended that he return to his line. It would be an understatement to say that the medic failed in his duty. Rifleman Fred Barratt said at his trial for desertion that on one occasion he had been wounded and left unattended for five days. His constitution never recovered, and he became terrified when under fire. Nevertheless he was executed on 10th July 1917
