F. W. Townsend
British Army 1st Section 1st D.A.C.
from:Glos.
My maternal grandmother was the illegitimate daughter of a Dr F.W.Townsend who, I believe, came from Gloucestershire. He is acknowledged as her father on her marriage certificate in about 1910 and was born in 1859. I have an original military Christmas card sent to her in 1916 from the front in France signed Dr F W Townsend with his unit printed on it - 1st Section, 1st D.A.C. BEF. when the old chap must have been 59 years old, his christian names are possibly Frederick William. Cannot trace a military career for him so wonder if he was a civvy doctor attached to that unit? We know that he survived the war and believe that he died in the 1920's.
