222956 Pte. Frederick Charles Bladon British Army 8th Battalion Devonshire Regiment (d.24th May 1916) My Great Uncle Freddie Bladon was born in Berkhampsted in 1898 and enlisted at St Albans, Hertfordshire in 1915. He only survived six months and was killed at Flanders at only 18 years of age. I would like to know why when he enlisted in Hertfordshire and ended up in a Devonshire Regiment way down in the south. Editor's Note: Only men who were already serving in the army when war broke out, or who joined a pals battalion in the first months of the war or those attested via the Derby Scheme served in their local regiments. All others were allocated to which ever unit needed additional men.
