Pte. Frederick William Eastman MM.
British Army 8th Btn. Gloucestershire Regiment
from:Northleach
Frederick Eastman won his military medal for bringing in wounded and dead from no mans land under fire. He later told me as an old man that he was covered in blood but none of it was his own. tTere is no known citation to the MM award. He joined on the first naming of the 8th glosters. He was subjected to hard labour later downgraded to field punishment no 1 for striking a superior officer just after the battle of the Somme
