L/Cpl. Frank Oakley MM.

British Army 58th Coy. Machine Gun Corps

from:Kingsbury, Staffs

(d.2nd Aug 1917)

Frank Oakley was born in December 1880. He was a private in the West Yorkshire Regiment and was transferred to the Machine Gun Corps in or around February 1916. He is buried at Locre Hospice Cemetery, Belgium. He was awarded the MM before his death, but as yet, I can find no record of why he won this award. He died from gas poisoning either by Phosgene or Mustard gas? He was married and had eight children at the time of his death
