Pte. Frederick James Hope
British Army Middlesex Regiment
My second cousin, Frederick James Hope, joined the Middlesex Regiment in August 1939. He was born on 10th August 1921 in Stratford, East London, the only child of Thomas Harold Hope and Florence Margaret Hope, nee Watt.
Frederick married Louisa May Wilding of Edmonton, London and had one son, Derek, now deceased, no issue.
Unfortunately, I don't know anything about his service during WW2, nor the name of his battalion. According to his marriage certificate, he served as a Private, name of battalion illegible. Frederick Hope survived the war, but did not return to his wife and child after he was demobbed. I have tried to find a death record in the UK 1945 - 2010 - all to no avail. Fred would be 95 years of age now, so chances are he died abroad.
Does anyone out there have any information about this man?
