Pte. Frederick Henry Watridge
British Army Hampshire Regiment
from:Southampton
(d.14th April 1917)
Frederick Henry Watridge would be related to myself as a great uncle. His name is on the memorial at Arras. He was 20. I am trying to find out more information so I thought I would share what I know. I have information on an auction where his medal was sold in 2003. I don't really know a lot else except that he had 2 brothers, Thomas and Phil. He lived in Bitterne, Southampton - I think at 30 Whitworth Rd.
Update: He was born in 1896. He appears on the 1911 census living at 82 Kent Road, St Denys, Southampton. He was a messenger. He was living with his parents, Harry and Alice and siblings, Dorothy (16), Marjorie (12), Roy (11), Thomas (6) and Philip.
His effects were left to his father who was a railway clerk.
