He must have had some earlier military training because he appears to have been inducted as a sergeant and there is a photo of him as a young man in an unidentified uniform. He and one of his 5 brothers each married sisters. Frederick and his wife had one child by the time Frederick arrived in France just one day before Christmas 1914. By April of 1915 The Rangers (12th Bn London Regt) were attached to the Canadian Division defending the area around St Julien close to Ypres. It was here that he was killed, probably by shell-fire as his body was not found. He is commemorated on the Menin gate.
