My Grand-father Frank Smith got his Military Medal sometime around 1916, possibly at Delville Wood at the Somme. I am trying to find more details, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Rflmn. Frank James Smith
British Army London Regiment
A certificate has been found in the back of an old frame which says "He whom this scroll commemorates was numbered among those who, at the call of King and Country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those who come after see to it that his name be not forgotton. Rifleman Frank James Smith, London Regiment.
I have tried to find his name on lists with no success. Is there somewhere or someone who would appreciate this?

Pte. Frederick Smith
British Army 9th Btn. West Yorkshire Regiment
from:Seaton Delaval, Northumberland
I never knew my grandfather Frederick Smith as I was only months old when he died, however I do have some scissors which is said he took from a dead German. My father tells me that he never heard his father speak of the war or its horrors only that when asked he had told him where the scissors had come from.
I have a post card from my grandfather to his sister dated Feb 16th, hoping that she is in good health and that he is sorry to hear that Ted (I think) must return out there as he will know what its like. It tells her it is good weather where he is but must sign off as he is in the trenches. It breaks my heart to think what was going through his mind as he signs and ends it ... 'love Brother Fred. Remember me'

He did write back to a friend at home that got printed in the Bermondsey Times where he wrote "it would have done your heart good to see our chaps advancing under deadly fire without flinching".

George Norman Smith born in 1898 to a Laundress, Sophia Whiting and Father John Smith, half brother to Frederick Whiting and Daisy Whiting, is my great uncle. He was born in Docking, Norfolk, where the Whitings had lived for over 50 years. I knew very little about George, whilst doing my family history, I was surprised to recieve an email from a complete stranger via ancestry, that whilst cleaning the old graveyard at the Whitings local Church, St Mary's in Heacham, she had stumbled across a plaque (awaiting picture), the plaque commemorated George's passing in WW1, it read "In Loving Memory of George Norman Smith, died in action in France, Aged 20 years May 22nd 1918, Deeply Mourned, Interned at Labunere Near Bethune" . This excited me as well as stirring emotions that I couldn't understand. Now I wanted to know more. So, upon researching well into the night, I found that George Norman Smith is buried at Sandpits British Cemetery in Fouquereuil, France. He served with 1st Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, he was a Private, Regiment Number 37060.
