Pte. Frederick Smith

British Army 1st Battalion West Surrey Regiment

from:Bermondsey

(d.25th Sep 1915)

My uncle gave me Fred Smith's campaign medals, dog tag and a picture of him when he was convalescing after his first injury in the 1st Battle Ypres. Sadly Fred was blown up at Loos so there is no known grave for him. 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".
