219826 Pte. Frank Lewis British Army 3rd. Labour Coy. Devonshire Regiment from:St. John's Road, Highgate, London. (d.25th May 1918) Frank Lewis was my great uncle. I have always had great admiration for my great grandmother, Rosamond Lewis. She was married to Alfred John Lewis, who served in the Metropolitan Police Force, and who was invalided out after 10 years. Their son, Frank, was killed at the Somme in May, 1918, just before hostilities ceased. Another son, John Perrin Lewis, who was in the Royal Garrison Artillery, was severely gassed early on in this war, and was affected for the rest of his life. There was a third son who also served, Oliver Lewis, but I have no details of his service. So, Rosamond had quite a lot to put up with, but managed to survive for 86 years. I served in the Cornwall Constabulary, but only found out about my Police great grandfather and his wonderful family recently.
