Sgt Frank Kerman MM
British Army 7Th 7th Batt the East Kent the Buffs
from:Enfield, Middlesex
(d.8 April 1918)
Frank Kerman was my great Uncle on my Mother's side of the family, younger brother of her father, John Drumgold.
Frank was born in West Ham, London and grew up in Lewisham. He first joined the Army in 1914 but was discharged as undersize (information from pension records) he then rejoined the army under the name Kerman.
He was awarded the Military Medal at the time the battalion fought at the Schwaben redoubt and Regina Trench in 1916(reference in book about the Buffs in the Great War), He was killed during the fighting just before the battle of Amiens in 1918.
His medals and a photograph are in the keeping of a collector some how they had made into the collector Market. There is a photo of his grave on the Internet and I am putting all of the information together so that the CWGC can update his grave record.
