217819 Drm. Frederick Rose British Army 2nd Btn. Yorkshire Regiment (d.4th March 1917) Drummer Frederick Rose was the son of Mrs. E. Rose and served with the Yorkshire Regiment 2nd Battalion. He was executed for desertion on 4th March 1917, aged 23 and is buried in the Berneville Communal Cemetery in Pas-de-Calais, France. Drummer Frederick Rose had been a regular soldier in the 2nd Battalion, and had been with the Battalion when it first arrived in Belgium (see 2nd Battalion Roll). He went missing on 18th December 1914, and apparently spent the next two years living with a woman in Hazebrouck. He was reported to the police by a neighbour of this woman and was captured shortly afterwards. Drummer Rose would have been one of only a small number of survivors of the 2nd Battalion. The Battalion had been in action near Ypres in October 1914, and a very high number of men had been killed, captured, or wounded.
