Frederick George Sutch was the youngest son of John and Hester Sutch. John and Hester are my three times great uncle and aunt. The family was unknown to me until I started my family tree.
Update:
The above period covers the duration of his military service until his death on the 13th April 1917. His Battalion was part of 121 Infantry Brigade which in turn was in the 40th Division and overall the 4th Army under General Rawlinson. His death must have occurred during operation at Fifteen Ravine and Villers Plouich in what was generally termed the Battle of Arras. He is buried at Gouzeaucourt British Cemetery, Nord, France.
