Pte. Frederick Francis Brooks
British Army 19th Btn. London Regiment
My grandad Frederick Francis Brooks served with the 19th (St. Pancras) Battalion, the London Regiment. He had his foot blown off in the Battle of the Somme and by the time he had medical attention gangrene had set in which meant he lost his leg up to his knee and I can remember as a child my dad still taking out small pieces of shrapnel.
