216522 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.
