224239 L/Cpl. Frank Sherrat Hamilton British Army 3rd Btn. Grenadier Guards from:Kidsgrove, Cheshire (d.24th July 1917) Frank Hamilton is buried in the Belgium war cemetery at Dozinghem. He served on the front in France and Belgium, and like most soldiers he was given a service medal for France and one for Belgium, and also the Dead Man's Penny as it was called. As far as I know he died of shrapnel poisoning, but the rest is a mystery. I do not know what hospital (if that was the case) or if he died on the front. His rank was Lance Cpl, age 23 Grenadier Guards joined up in 1915 and serving until to 24th of July 1917 when he died, as did so many young guys. I am still trying to find information on my great uncle. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
