At one time, during the war Jack was listed as missing in action, most probably due to miscommunication of his whereabouts, but it was long enough that notification was sent to his wife.

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.
