236113 CQMS. Frederick George Green British Army 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment from:West Ham (d.28th Aug 1914) Frederick Green was my great grandfather. He was killed in the Battle of Mons, among the very first to be killed, he left a wife and an unborn son, my grandfather Fred, who also made sergeant in the 8th Army in WW2. Little of Frederick is known apart from that he was in the 1st Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment, why he was in this regiment I do not know as he was born in West Ham in Essex. I do know that he joined the Army years previously to WW1 as I have his service record. Unfortunately, his medals were sold by a sibling and also his dress uniform, both of which I am very upset about. I do, however, have his obituary medal in pride of place in my den, and on being given this along with other memorabilia from my aunt and uncle I was moved to tears, strange how never meeting a relative can have a profound effect on a person. I am proud to be a relative of Frederick but also very sad that a young man with all of his life to look forward to was snuffed out in a blink of an eye, but without him , I and my family would not be here. This of course applies to many thousands of families. Company Quartermaster Serjeant Frederick George Green 5722 is buried in Frameries Belgium. Gone from this world but never forgotten.
